When a strategy is so complex that each step feels akin to pushing a boulder up a hill, you should pause and invert the problem. When we remove the complexity, even the slightest effort can move what matters forward. Momentum grows with the force of gravity. Execution becomes more effortless. We've covered simple question you can ask in any situation to make life less hard. And also, as a thank you, the first ten people who write a review of this episode on apple pod casts will get a signed copy of effortlas.
Have you ever sacrificed your time, energy, and sanity simply because you believed the only way to accomplish something worthwhile was through great effort?
