Have you ever gotten tired thinking about something you haven’t done yet? The task keeps coming back to mind, and you keep promising yourself you’ll handle it later.
I’ve done that more times than I can count.
Today’s random reading took me to “The Habit of Ferocity,” a chapter in Steven Kotler’s The Art of Impossible. The idea grabbed me: build the habit of leaning into challenges before you internally negotiate your way out of them.
I share what that means to me and how I’m putting it to work:
• Recognizing the small “micro pockets” where you can take useful action.
• Giving your effort direction through drive, goals, and grit.
• Starting something even when you don’t have time to finish it.
• Delegating with clear expectations and giving other people room to grow.
• Closing the unfinished loops that keep draining your attention.
We also walk through a simple illustration of how reclaiming three ten-minute pockets a day could add up over time.
Most personally, I talk about realizing I’ve spent years revisiting the same frustrations on my morning walks. What would tomorrow morning feel like if I finally moved one of those things forward today?
Think about your faith, family, fitness, finances, and fulfillment. What’s the next useful action you can take?
Less time carrying the intention. More time living it.
