E365 | How to Get Things Done When Progress Feels Impossible


Listen Later

You can’t make this stuff up. 

Every time you finally sit down to tackle the project you know needs to get done, something gets in the way. You get sick. A family member needs help. You lose your job or suffer a major professional setback. And let’s be honest, sometimes the biggest obstacle…is you. The crazier or more unpredictable the distraction, the more likely it seems to happen.

So how do we stop getting knocked off course? How do we sidestep the constant barrage of setbacks, gather ourselves, and take that crucial first step forward? How do we keep chipping away at what we know we need to do—despite the world, other people, and the version of ourselves that would rather avoid the struggle?

In today’s episode, Brett shares his journey and the lessons we can all take from it. Whether you're writing a book, tackling a big professional project, or mending a broken relationship, there’s something here for everyone.

Tune in for insight into:

  • Winning the battle against chronic overthinking and perfectionism
  • The importance of the messy rough draft or painful first step
  • Seizing momentum through brutal sprints
  • How to use constraints to your advantage
  • Determining what must be sacrificed to achieve your end goal
  • We’re excited to bring you TWO NEW EVENTS coming later this year!
