In today’s episode, I explore three powerful permissions that can significantly enhance your productivity, creativity, and overall well-being. Embrace these permissions to break free from perfectionism, unrealistic long-term planning, and the fear of starting small.

Key Takeaways:

1. Permission to Do Things at 80%
• Freedom from Perfection: Understand that aiming for 80% completion allows you to start and finish projects without the paralyzing need for perfection.
• Practical Application: Implementing this in both work and home life can lead to more completed projects and less overwhelm.
• Real-Life Impact: Moving deadlines forward and making adjustments in real-time helps achieve goals faster and keeps momentum.
2. Permission to Not Plan Past 3-5 Years
• Focused Planning: Limiting planning to 3-5 years makes goals more tangible and less intimidating.
• Concrete Steps: Break down long-term dreams into actionable yearly steps, allowing for more detailed and realistic planning.
• Personal Example: Sharing a real-life example of building a bunkhouse, illustrating how short-term planning made a dream actionable and achievable.
3. Permission to Do All Things at 1% Initially
• Small Steps to Big Dreams: Embrace the power of starting with just 1% effort. Every significant accomplishment begins with a tiny step.
• Compounding Effect: Understand how small, consistent actions lead to significant, compounding results over time.
• Practical Examples: From writing down ideas to making small inquiries, learn how to gradually build towards larger goals.

Actionable Tips:

• Procrastination Buster: Identify tasks you've been delaying due to the need for perfection and give yourself permission to complete them at 80%.
• Short-Term Vision: Reflect on what the next 3-5 years could look like for you, and break down those goals into yearly steps.
• 1% Efforts: Start any new idea or project with a 1% effort and continue to build on that momentum.

Listener Challenge: After listening to this episode, take 10 minutes to:

• Identify something you’re procrastinating on and give yourself permission to complete it at 80%.
• Visualize what your life could look like 3 years from now.
• Start a new project or idea with just 1% effort.
