Do you feel like you're constantly juggling too many things? Like you're always busy, but never accomplishing anything meaningful? In this episode, we're talking about the importance of doing less. We'll discuss why it's so important to focus on our priorities and to say no to things that don't matter. We'll also provide practical insights and real-life examples to help you reshape your approach to self-improvement and achieving success. Join us as we draw inspiration from a 7,000-mile coastal hike, where the value of focusing on one major goal becomes crystal clear. We'll explore how spreading ourselves too thin can lead to burnout and hinder our true talents. Discover the wisdom of embracing minimalism, prioritizing progress over perfection, and finding joy in the simplicity of life. So, if you're ready to cut through the noise, master your energy, and walk the path of purpose, hit that play button and embark on a journey toward doing less but accomplishing more. - - - On the growth mindset podcast with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement. Success and happiness is a state of mind unique to ourselves and is our responsibility to create. Through a process of honest self-reflection of what is holding us back and what is driving us forward, we can lose the ego and build awareness of how to be the best we can be. - - - Connect with Sam: Sam's newsletter on creativity - Explosive Thinking Watch the pod - YouTube (Growth Mindset) Twitter - @samjamharris Instagram - @SamJam.zen Youtube - @Samjam - - - Connect with James Lloyd Instagram - @write_errant LinkTree - https://linktr.ee/write_errant - - - Show: Growth Mindset, psychology of self-improvement Episode: The Keys to Clarity Chapters: 00:00 Quotes from the Stoics 00:42 Importance of Doing Less Stories 02:08 Story of Interviewing a Guest Who Spreads Himself Thinly 05:01 Story of Interviewing a Guest Who is Fully Present 07:21 Are you doing things that exhaust you or you actually enjoy 08:24 Analogy of Breaking A Window 09:08 Story of A Recent Hiking Trip with James Lloyd 12:29 A Year Can Make A Huge Difference 14:09 Some Stuff Expire From Lack of Use 15:26 Send Off Learn more about your ad choices.
