How to make progress in 2026 and achieve your goals

from Evolve with Ella · host Ella Pascoe

I found a cure for my inability to plan 2026 and learnt how to start making progress, so I hope this helps you. It's important to start! No matter how far in we are, you'll only waste more time by thinking it's too late. I talk about how:Too much pressure on yourself causes you to stop making progressLoss aversion: fear of loss is bigger than the potential predicted winsEmotion focused vs problem focused coping mechanisms Choosing the latter, and finding your starting point and directionDirection: where do you want to end up Starting point, work backwards from where you want to be and figure out what you need to action right now, and forget the restYou can’t comprehend all the success you could get, so if you only take steps you can comprehend, you’ll only get success you can comprehend, which is smallerYou’ll get further by moving and trying even if there’s dead ends than not moving at all. Its like a maze, you’ll either stay at the beginning or eventually move outTrying and failing is always going to be worth more than not trying at allYour year’s path isn’t some kind of mystery that’s being unfairly hidden from you, you have to move to discover it, and you’re actually creating it as you goYour year isn’t in the future it’s now so make sure to balance discipline with funThe year can throw unexpected events at you, positive and negative. Pause, process, reassess and progress
