Is there such a thing as too much ambition? How do I decide what activities i should put effort into most?

I never think there is such a thing as too much ambition, I do think however, that a person can overload themselves. Set clear goals and allow yourself time to reach them. For example, I'm currently going to back to school to earn a new degree and there is a new certification that I would like to obtain as well. My goal is to complete both, but I know doing them both at them same time will only result in burn out. Take time to relax and celebrate your accomplishments before diving into your next adventure.

You ask a very good question. Ambition is the drive behind most achievements and failures both. Ambition should never be discouraged and in my opinion you can't ever have too much. It raises the question about whether ambition is the true issue here. It sounds like the issue may be one of time management and deciding what to do first, second, etc. Which ideas are most important and which ones may be suggested to others to drive. Ideas drive innovation but no one person is ever capable of executing all of them which is why we share ideas and build excitement about them in others. Some of the ideas you have will contribute to your career goals and you should identify those, examine them, prioritize them and begin acting on those. A key thing to remember is that no one is locked into one career. As time passes, things change including wants and desires, interests and passions. Leverage your ambition to guide you as you progress in your career. Focus on what you love to do and what will help your career, but always work outside that group of activities and exercise your ambition in the other areas you have ideas in. Often those will end up being the most rewarding in your life. Use your ideas to lift yourself and share them with those around you because they may be the spark that ignites a flame in them. Good luck as you make these decisions and explore these new possibilities.

It is not necessarily a bad thing to have a lot of ambition. Its actually good. But remember your long term goals and what ones will play into achieving the future you want. It is also very good to know the impacts of what the ideas and opportunities will achieve. Sometimes a win win right now, is not necessarily a win later on, if you did not learn from it. However, it always does my heart and my soul good to see ambition and the want/need to continue to grow and succeed. Just truly know your audience and remember each day is a learning experience.

<span style="background-color: transparent;">You have to set a routine for yourself and stick to it for the most part. Once you get into the groove of a routine it will be much easier for you to manage your time and have enough time for everything you need to do (including relaxing). Make yourself to-do lists on a weekly basis, use Google calendar or a planner to keep track of events, deadlines, and due dates. In addition to setting a routine and sticking to it, plan out relaxing activities into your day. Or set aside a time, after everything is done for the day, that you can have "me" time. I have also personally found it essential to not only find time for myself but also make use of that time in a way that is best for me and my holistic wellness. I have found the HeadSpace app to be an essential tool in helping me relax and generally feel more relaxed throughout the day, Guided meditation, even if you have a busy schedule, will make you feel more at ease and relaxed throughout the day as a whole (not just when you have the time to relax and focus on that "me" time).</span>
