Episode notes
Flexible Goals Beat Rigid Targets
- Rigid goals are fragile and break when reality interrupts progress.
- Flexible goals allow margins for error and quick restarts after setbacks.
Build A Margin Of Error
- Give your goals a small margin of error so simple mistakes don't derail progress.
- Use concrete buffers (e.g., a 5% error allowance) to preserve momentum and avoid perfection traps.
Retire Goals That No Longer Fit
- Regularly reassess and retire goals that no longer fit your priorities or bring joy.
- Admit when a goal is an old dream and stop limping it along to free resources for new growth.
