Goal Setting
- SMART goals are often linear and can stimulate fear and toxic productivity.
- Replace linear goals with curiosity and an experimental mindset for a more fulfilling approach.

- Adopt the PACT approach: Purposeful, Actionable, Continuous, and Trackable experiments.
- Focus on outputs (actions taken) rather than outcomes for consistent progress.
Tyranny of Purpose
