Full transcript here 👋 Hey, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. This is your life. This is your chance. Listen.

The word for today is method, and I have one for almost everything I do. You want to know how I pick up dog poop without getting it on my hands? I can show you. You want to load a dishwasher a little too full? I can show you that, too. Methods are not my problem, because my mechanical brain is pretty good at coming up with what it thinks is the best approach. My problem is motivating myself after I’ve figured out the method. I mentioned, in episode “86 - Prototype,” that my brain likes to focus on solving the problem. I want to know if I can succeed at building the proof of concept. This podcast has been a valuable lesson in continuing down a path, as was mentioned in yesterday's episode, “157 - Vacillate.” I have come up with a method for producing episodes, but I’ve lost the steam for actually posting them. Yesterday, I investigated some ways to shorten the process of editing audio, and that sparked my method engine. I guess the moral of this episode is just to reinforce that your method is part of the 1% inspiration. That just leaves 99% perspiration to go.

Today’s concrete challenge is to make yourself do something you've been resisting. I'm going to finish editing the episode I was working on yesterday and post it. What will you use your 99% perspiration to do?

If you want to commit, say the following phrase: “I will put in the work today.”

I’ll keep the music playing while you get it done, and don’t miss the soundtrack at the end of this episode.

Before you go, repeat the following soundtrack, “I am the kind of person who sees it through.”

Let me know if this made a difference in your day by leaving a comment in your podcast app or at concrete.win/today.

Check back tomorrow for a new challenge. Until then.
