  • Listen to my essay

    I’m a long time listener because Chris hosts many interesting guests. I do find it oddly hilarious that he routinely subjects his guests to listening to the essays he has written. Can he not just pull talking points?

No One is Ready for This Coming War - Navy SEAL Andy Stumpf - #1089
Q: What lessons from SEAL training translate to civilian life?
Chunking big goals into small, manageable steps; maintaining emotional control under pressure; and reframing failure as tuition payments to drive growth.
How to Wake Up Excited About Your Goals - Chris Bailey - #1077
Q: How should someone structure their daily and weekly intentions?
Use the rule of three to identify the three most important daily tasks, then ensure those feed into weekly plans and longer-term goals so daily actions align with broader aims.
How to Wake Up Excited About Your Goals - Chris Bailey - #1077
Q: Why are SMART goals considered problematic in this framework?
SMART goals often feel compelling but research shows that making goals merely realistic or specific can limit potential; higher-challenge goals and ongoing editing aligned with values yield better outcomes.
How to Wake Up Excited About Your Goals - Chris Bailey - #1077
Q: What role do values play in motivation and goal attainment?
Values shape our deepest motivations and act as the underlying frame for goals; when a goal reflects a value, the path to achievement becomes much more motivating and smoother.
How to Wake Up Excited About Your Goals - Chris Bailey - #1077
Q: What makes some goals feel effortless while others feel like a chore?
Goals feel effortless when they are aligned with core values and a deliberate, multi-layered intention system; editing and dropping misaligned goals helps maintain momentum and reduces resistance.
