In this episode of Your Inner Economy, I share a recent experience that many of us can relate to—I got distracted, drifted off course, and completely missed an important virtual meeting.

What started as a simple mistake became a valuable reminder that even capable, intelligent people can lose track of what matters when their attention is stretched too thin.

In this conversation, I explore what I call "The Drift"—those moments when we slowly wander away from our intentions without realizing it. I also discuss how to recover without shame, why perfection isn't the goal, and how small systems can help us find our way back.

You'll also get an introduction to The Daily Drift Dashboard, a simple tool I use to create visual awareness, reduce mental clutter, and gently return my attention to what matters most.

Because the goal isn't to never drift.

The goal is to notice it sooner and learn how to return.
