Maybe Different isn't Wrong

Get Incompetent! On Purpose!


Listen Later

Did you know that being bad at some things is a very good idea?

Allow us to introduce you to strategic incompetence - choosing to be bad at some things so you have more resources for the things you actually care about.

Because we live in a world that's all about perfectionism, we think we should be able to do all the things well all the time.

But also, we're human beings and we have limited time and energy. We cannot possibly be competent at all the things all the time! So, it can be really helpful to decide what you want to purposely be incompetent at in favor of what you really care about.

Listen to learn:

  • How to feel good about being incompetent at some things (spoiler alert: you're already incompetent at so many things and it doesn't bother you!)
  • How to strategically choose what to be incompetent at
  • How to not judge yourself for not being a perfect robot instead of being a human
  • What a fancy monkey is
