You Keep Trying to Fix Your Life by Adding to It

from The Daily Podcast with Jonathan Doyle

Today: subtraction blindness. Leidy Klotz's research published in Nature found that when people are asked to improve anything, almost everyone adds — new parts, new rules, new steps, new commitments — and virtually nobody subtracts, even when taking something away is the cheaper, faster, better fix. Now look at your calendar, your routines, your business. The first question was never "what's missing?" It's "what's in the way?" This week, improve something only by removing.Grab my book Bridging the Gap free as an audiobook — search "Bridging the Gap Jonathan Doyle" on any podcast app.Corporate speaking and executive coaching enquiries: jonathandoyle.coA new one every morning.
