Deep Questions with Cal Newport

NOTE

Creating a Clear Path to Achieve Your Ideal Lifestyle

Start by envisioning the lifestyle you want, with friends and activities that excite you. Then work backwards to determine the steps needed to get there. Identify the skills you need to learn and the people you need to impress. This will help you find motivation and create a clear path for your career. Building a lifestyle-centric career plan involves trusting in your own ideas and having a good plan to achieve your goals. With both elements in place, you can flip the switch and go after what you want. Most students find it difficult to come up with these ideas on their own, which is why external guidance can be helpful.
