While I love spontaneity and adventure, I know that work-wise, I am driven by a routine. And the changes that are coming about as everything re-opens or even otherwise tend to throw me off at least a bit, even as I learn to be more resilient to change.
In this episode, we talk about one of the simplest, best and most consistent and sustainable hacks that there is for making progress even on the off and down days that I learnt from Lori Harder.
The ONE Thing Theory:
The one thing that will help you make massive progress is -
Deciding on only ONE thing you want to accomplish everyday that will move the needle forward in the direction that you want.

Meal planning
Getting your laundry done

On MOST days, choose KEY and NEEDLE moving Tasks like:
Watching an hour of video lecture
Researching on an article that you want to write
Calling a friend who could help connect you to you next step
…..and so on.
