Make time your secret weapon.
Our success and happiness are often eroded by the 7 habits of highly impatient people. We are losing the ability to focus and glorify instant success. Thus we lose the ability to stick with anything and create meaningful work.
This episode goes through the psychology and philosophy of taking a slower and deeper approach to life:
- Understand the causes behind our poor attention spans
- Create resilience in your work
- Grow lasting momentum instead of bursts of speed
From ancient stoic philosophers to the latest neuroscience. The signs are all put together in the episode that will help you focus your life and make time work towards your success.
