Making progress in life feels hard. But hiding in that hardness is a trap that causes most people to fail. In this week's episode of Life and Lessons, I make the case that you should optimise for easy-feeling and consistent progress, rather than fads like Monk Mode and 75 Hard.

I also give you an update on my book proposal now that it's with agents, and share a realisation I had when viewing a 22nd floor apartment in the centre of Cardiff earlier this week.

Key moments:

• Introduction
• Reflecting of recent episodes with Johann Hari and David Robson
• An update on what I've been up to
• Update on querying literary agents with the book proposal
• Optimising for easy progress (why Monk Mode doesn't work)
• Progress in undetectable in the moment
• Ending
