E191: Hyper-Optimisation is Ruining Your Progress


Listen Later

It can be tempting to focus your self-improvement efforts on the areas of your life where things are already going well. But this isn't how you bring about meaningful change. In this week's episode of Life and Lessons, I explain why you should focus on the things you suck at first, before trying to hyper-optimise pointless 1% skills.


I also discuss the idea that winners hardly ever realise they're winning, and explain why you need to keep score for yourself.
