Summary

Stop trying to leap across canyons and start valuing the quiet, steady rhythm of progress through the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen. This episode explores how shifting our focus from dramatic reinvention to tiny, intentional steps can reduce burnout and lead to profound, sustainable transformation.

Key Insights

• Kaizen defines growth as continuous, incremental improvement rather than a series of exhausting, massive leaps.
• The One Minute Rule helps maintain mental clarity by encouraging you to complete any task that takes less than sixty seconds immediately.
• By identifying and reclaiming "Muda," or wasted time, you can find small pockets of space for activities that truly nourish your spirit.
• The Plus One Method builds consistent momentum by challenging you to do just one more tiny action than you did the day before, such as drinking one extra glass of water or reading one more page.
