Hi everyone, I found a cure to my inability to plan 2026 and learn how to start making progress, so I hope this helps you. It's important to start! No matter how far in we are, you'll only waste more time by thinking it's too late. I talk about how:
- Too much pressure on yourself causes you to stop making progress
- Loss aversion: fear of loss is bigger than the potential predicted wins
- Emotion focused vs problem focused coping mechanisms
- Choosing the latter, and finding your starting point and direction
- Direction: where do you want to end up
- Starting point, work backwards from where you want to be and figure out what you need to action right now, and forget the rest
- You can’t comprehend all the success you could get, so if you only take steps you can comprehend, you’ll only get success you can comprehend, which is smaller
- You’ll get further by moving and trying even if there’s dead ends than not moving at all. Its like a maze, you’ll either stay at the beginning or eventually move out
- Trying and failing is always going to be worth more than not trying at all
- Your year’s path isn’t some kind of mystery that’s being unfairly hidden from you, you have to move to discover it, and you’re actually creating it as you go
- Your year isn’t in the future it’s now so make sure to balance discipline with fun
- The year can throw unexpected events at you, positive and negative. Pause, process, reassess and progress
