The Progress Project

In today's episode, we're going to help you be more intentional with where you're putting your energy and the effect it's having on your life. We'll talk about what's working, what's not working, and how to give yourself plenty of grace along the way.

Listen in to learn:

• How internalizing one principle can change your life, even as it shows up in different tactics for different seasons of your life
• Why the system you choose isn't as important as the lasting effect of a true principle
• How you can be more intentional about your choices with just one powerful tool: observation
• How increasing mindfulness of what is going right can help you increase your overall happiness and fulfillment

One question we get a lot from listeners is "How do I stay motivated with my project or goal?"

People find that they start something with a lot of energy and enthusiasm and then as the feeling of motivation fades, willpower kicks in, and then that runs out too. Then what? That's the point where most people quit.

So listen in today to learn:

• How to maintain motivation and enthusiasm for your creative goal
• 3 reasons you're not following through on your goal
• The incredibly powerful mindset shift that can change everything about how you set goals

This aligns perfectly with our premium content in Patreon this session, which is about setting creative goals. We're challenging our patrons (and ourselves!) to start and finish a creative project in 6 weeks.
