Earlier this week, Gretchen Rubin made her third appearance on Yap for a brand new conversation about secrets of adulthood and what it really takes to build a life that feels as good as it looks.
What is intentional goal setting for happiness?
So today we're bringing back one of our favorite Gretchen Rubin conversations as a Yap classic. This episode originally aired at the start of 2022 when everybody was thinking about goals and resolutions. But honestly, it might be really useful right now because it's the middle of the year and it's a great time to pause and ask, am I still on track? Am I living this year intentionally or did I lose focus? In this conversation, Gretchen breaks down how to stop drifting through your goals, why different people need different systems to follow through, and how to build habits in a way that actually fits your personality. As we approach the month of June, think of today's episode as your mid-year reset and the perfect companion to Monday's brand new conversation.
Now here's Gretchen Rubin. Gretchen welcome back to young and profiting podcast so happy to have you back I'm so happy to be back it's great to talk to you again yeah so Gretchen you came back on you were previously on an episode number 29 back when we were just starting out at young and profiting podcasts now you know two years later we're a number one podcast across all apps so much has changed if you guys are watching us on YouTube right now you can see my half-finished studio and Gretchen is the first person I'm interviewing in my studio. What you guys don't see is I've got a million blankets and pillows around me because I don't have my soundproofing yet.
What are the Four Personality Tendencies?
But you know how it is, Gretchen.
We've all done it. Yes.
Yes. are a world famous author. You're an expert on happiness and habits. And one of the things that I wanted to talk to you about today was resolutions and how to be happier in the new year.
How can different personalities approach goal setting?
And to kick things off, I want to hear about your career journey for my listeners that may not be familiar with your story. And I encourage everyone to go back to episode number 29 if you want to learn more about Gretchen's come up. But for those of us who've never heard your story before, talk to us about your journey into becoming a researcher and a writer and your start into law school, which you say you drifted into law school. And drift is actually a word that you invented. So talk to us about what drift means and how you ended up drifting into law school and evolving into your career that you have now.
Well, drift is the decision we make by not deciding or by kind of going along with the flow of what other people expect from us or what is the default option. So you take a job because somebody offers you that job or you become a doctor because both your parents are doctors and you're good at science or you get married because all your friends are getting married or you just go along with the path of least resistance. And the thing about drift, you know, the word drift sounds easy, like you're just like drifting down a lazy summer river. But actually, drift is often incredibly difficult. It can be so demanding. And, you know, you mentioned that I drifted into law school and, you know, I was editor in chief of the Law Journal.
