113 - Playing the Long Game in a Quick-Fix World
About this episode
As we often say, people have a tendency to drastically overestimate what they can do in a day and drastically underestimate what they can do in a year, particularly these days when so much of our world is oriented towards instant gratification. So today we're talking about the art of sustainable success and how to play the long game. We discuss how to overcome the difficulties of setting (and sticking to) big goals, strategies for staying disciplined and trusting your plan, ideas about how to build in short-term checkpoints, and ways you can hone the ability to zoom in on day-to-day progress while maintaining a longer perspective.
