Episode notes

The host introduces Season One of the Zen Habits Podcast and emphasizes the importance of choosing a project to focus on. They discuss the distinction between choosing and deciding, offer advice on putting ideas into action, and provide examples of different projects to inspire listeners.

How do we choose what to focus on?

We can get caught up in indecision and overthinking things, and decision-making can be really difficult.

In this season, Leo asks you to play along and focus on a project where you'll work with fear and resistance. But how do you choose a project?

We'll take a look not only at how to choose a project, but how to choose anything. And how choosing from the heart (or gut) can be a powerful thing.
