How would you tackle multiple priorities/north stars? What if I want to be the best parent I can be and save enough for retirement? I can't put off being a parent until I have enough to retire on, nor can I wait to start saving for retirement until after I'm "done" being a parent.

Stronger: I can't put being a parent on hold to write my book. Not if I already have kids. I can't put it on hold to build my career, or launch my startup. They need you today, not when your "north star" is done.
