Breaking Down Big Projects Into Bite-Sized Tasks (#039)

This week, we talked a little bit about golf and related it back to our day-to-day struggles at work and in life. We also discuss the concept of a five-day workweek, and lessons from life to take small steps towards bigger goals. Key Takeaways: To get back on track after feeling burnt out, tackle smaller tasks first and move your way up. Procrastination is not laziness. It's a coping mechanism. Episode Quotes: James' take on mental capacity "It's like using a battery to 0% every single time and then charging it to 120% hoping to get more output when really it just dies. Maybe that's a way that we think about our mental capacity. We can never go to 0%, and we shouldn't be charging over a hundred percent." Sean on tackling smaller things when doing big projects "I've always had this pie in the sky kind of idea to either go big or go home. Going back to what we just described of tackling smaller things, I've never thought of where it's like, just focus on something you're passionate about. Focus on something that like really works. I think that was a problem I had."
