About this episode
More intensity is not the answer. To achieve the things you want in life, you must pursue them with balance. Unfortunately, in the modern era, to pursue things with balance is almost indistinguishable from laziness.
The single greatest challenge for any ambitious person is reframing slowing down as an essential part of your performance, not a reward for your effort.
When you're constantly moving fast, everything is a blur. When you slow down, you start to see the world more clearly.
5 strategies you can use to slow down more regularly: (1) Take pride in unitasking, (2) Take more breaks, (3) Take a power walk, (4) Embrace the power of no, (5) Find your garden.
