#901 – Information Overload and How It Affects Training


Listen Later

Let's just stop for a minute and think about the endless choices we have and how they can overwhelm us. Ever get that feeling like you need to get in shape before you go to the gym? We talk about the rabbit hole of hacks and how it can lead to action paralysis. We talk about how to structure your mind for the right "why." We look at why getting one percent better each day is a great strategy, but why it's so tough to stick with. Training should be about much more than a time goal, it should be driven by what is truly meaningful to you and it's well worth sitting in silence and really figuring out.

Topics:

  • Getting fit before going to the gym
  • Can you ever be fit enough?
  • Intellectual experts vs. practitioners
  • What's the hack?
  • Action paralysis
  • Endless podcasts, influencers, newsletters
  • Drink from a garden hose vs. a fire hose
  • We always want more
  • When we feel like it's not enough
  • Trying too hard
  • The weight of the world
  • The integrity of a workout
  • Do we need more?
  • We all need a bit of a buffer
  • Being swept up in the moment
  • One percent better each day but not seeing it
  • Weight loss and patience
  • Inability to set realistic goals
  • What is meaningful to you?
  • You have to have more than a time goal
  • Swinging for the fence all the time
  • Building habits that turn into routine
  • Pick out the right lot and build slowly
