22: Ditch the Fake Due Dates and Make Consistent Progress Toward Your Ideal Narrative 10:36

10:36

If you want to craft a compelling work-life narrative, you need to stay focused on work that yields the stories you want to be able to tell about yourself. But truly important and impactful work tends to happen over time. So to keep yourself on track, you set arbitrary due dates for key milestones... and then you miss them. And then you reset your due dates — and do it again and again. It's not just inefficient. It can make you feel bad. There's a better way to keep the momentum going and feel better about yourself in the process. Host Doug Lester shares a tip he originally picked up from Carl Pullein, the productivity guru. Check out Carl's work and offers at carlpullein.com . And make sure to consider Carl's Time Sector Method course, which is the basis of Doug's entire project and task management system.
