🌴 9. Stop walking around the block to get next door feat. Steph Clarke

Today, we unpack the curious habit we all share: creating our own overwhelm. From decision-making dramas to overcomplicating simple tasks, it’s something we’re all guilty of—yes, even you!

Through relatable stories (including a dog park chat, Seth Godin's "yak shaving" metaphor, and Steph Clarke’s reflections), we explor how we often overthink, layer unnecessary complexities, and, in doing so, stall our progress.

Key takeaways for you to reflect on:

1. Start with the big question: Do you really want to do this? Yes or no. Everything else flows from that clarity.
2. Keep it simple: Instead of planning 10 steps ahead, ask, What’s the easiest way to take the next step?
3. Ask better questions: Tim Ferriss’ mantra—“What would this look like if it was easy?”—is a refreshing one (when you're knee-deep in yak shaving)!
