Checkpoints: How to Stop Restarting From Zero | Business & Career | EP. 160
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Survival mode isn't a setting you choose. Its a setting we get locked into, that piles on quietly until you don't even notice it's on. This week breaks down why business owners and employees keep restarting from zero, the research-backed reason it happens, and how to get yourself out of that cycle.
Here's what we're sippin on:
- Why researchers gave this exact mental state a name, and why it's not a discipline problem
- The real numbers behind accountability
- What a video game character's stat sheet gets right about progress that most of us get wrong in real life
The people who keep moving aren't the ones with more willpower, they're the ones who built a way to check in on themselves before they needed it.
Thank you for listening, and as always...enjoy your first sip!
