Episode notes
Empty 'Working On Myself' Excuses
- Jack Spierka observes most people who claim to "work on themselves" actually do nothing meaningful to improve.
- He urges specific measurable actions rather than vague platitudes to escape ruts and lulls.
Commit To Tiny Daily Gains
- Commit to improving yourself a small percentage daily (e.g., 0.1%–0.5%) and let compounding do the rest.
- Track one focused habit at a time so incremental daily gains accumulate into transformational change.
Progress Or Terminal Decline
- If you don't consciously improve, life pushes you backward due to skill atrophy and entropy.
- Personal progress compounds like interest; stagnation equals decline.
