E9 Mike Schmitz: Forging Your Best Life With Journaling and Personal Retreats
Aidan's Infinite Play
The Personal Retreat
Personal retreats provide clarity on desired goals and pursuits through introspection and journaling. The retreat allows for a big picture view compared to daily journaling, enabling a condensed focus on goals for a significant amount of time. Setting goals quarterly instead of yearly increases productivity by avoiding overestimation in the short term and underestimation in the long term. Knowing oneself and one's creative pursuits is crucial, as continuous creation and output are vital for avoiding stagnation. Consistent habits are emphasized over goals for achieving success. It is important to define personal success rather than chasing someone else's dream to avoid stress and overcommitment. Taking ownership and authority in life decisions allows for prioritizing essential tasks and deciding on what truly matters.
