I was reflecting on James Clear’s 3-2-1 ideas from last week, and here are the key lessons I wanted to share with you:
1. The Power of Joyful Effort: Your Competitive Edge
The quickest way to gain an edge is to work on what genuinely interests you. When you’re having fun, you’re more likely to stick with it when the hard parts hit. Your passion is your persistence.
2. Stop Analyzing, Start Doing
Stop waiting. Go do it. The paralysis of analysis is a productivity killer. The most powerful small habit is the one of immediate action. Don’t talk yourself out of it—just start.
3. Run Your Own Race: Internal Progress is All That Matters
Problems arise when you compare your journey to others with different constraints (age, family, experience). Play your own game. Judge your progress internally: Are you getting a little better today? Focus on gradual, personal improvement and embrace where you are right now.
Simple Takeaway
Find the joy in the work, act on your intent, and accept your unique circumstances. That’s the formula for sustainable success.
What’s one small action you can take right now to Go do it?
