Episode notes
Stress Plus Rest Produces Growth
- Stress plus rest equals growth, so strain becomes strength when paired with recovery.
- Purpose, routine, and focused cycles amplify that growth for sustainable excellence.
Work In Focused Cycles
- Work in cycles: alternate long blocks of intense focus with deliberate downtime.
- Challenge yourself just enough to stretch, then lock in intentional recovery to convert strain into strength.
Single Tasking Beats Multitasking
- Single task and avoid multitasking because it dilutes attention and reduces quality.
- Prioritize one thing at a time since focused work yields far better results than divided attention.
