Learning faster by doing less
Trying to do too much is overwhelming and we can learn faster by doing less. We learn how to have more success in our learning goals with a more tactical approach. Learning a new skill is so much fun in theory. Yet in reality, it involves doing hard things and being bad at stuff. We can really struggle to stay motivated and struggle to find the time to dedicate to being terrible at something. What if there was a different way that made things easier to start and yet the achievement more likely? There is. Skill breaks are one of the most useful concepts I've ever learnt and here I explain what they are and how to start learning more by having fun. - - - Sponsored by LinkedIn Jobs Create a free job posting in months on the world's #1 rated recruitment site for small businesses. https://www.linkedin.com/growth - - - Connect with Sam: Sam's newsletter on creativity and entrepreneurship - Explosive Thinking Support the Show - Patreon If you enjoyed the podcast please subscribe and rate it.

Increase output, learn faster, avoid burnout
Relying on stress for productivity is a recipe for burnout. We can avoid burnout and increase our output when we optimise our mindsets. We can keep our mind firing on all cylinders through excitement and enjoyment instead of through stress and difficulty. We can learn faster and access more of our potential when we treat our brain like a brain instead of like a muscle. Brain training and mind workouts can be completely reframed to have a much bigger effect once we know what we are doing. - - - Connect with Sam: Join the conversation on the social podcast app - Podvine Sam's newsletter on creativity and entrepreneurship - Explosive Thinking Sam's podcast on books - Wiser Than Yesterday Support the Show - Patreon If you enjoyed the podcast please subscribe and rate it.

Master finishing things
Finishing things is an art we need to take seriously. By digging into where we are blocked we can identify our problems with the task at hand and we might even gain a broader understanding of our purpose as well. This episode presents some alternative strategies to really help you identify good ideas and get things completed. Questions to reflect on: Which tasks do I reliably finish? Could some of them create value if I did more of them? What are my unfinished projects? What are the specific tasks within the project that I avoid? How can I make it more likely to complete the difficult task? (Make it smaller / delegate it / change the time / do it with others) Can I remove the difficult tasks entirely? Do I start things which I know I won’t finish and might be damaging? What is my goal in starting them? Is there a very different way to get there? How much time do I put into things I don’t have an interest in? If I look at my goals should I say no to these things? What are the best ideas I haven't done? Can I let go of perfect and treat them as a stepping stone? - - - Connect with Sam: Join the conversation on the social podcast app - Podvine Sam's newsletter on creativity and entrepreneurship - Explosive Thinking Sam's podcast on books - Wiser Than Yesterday Support the Show - Patreon If you enjoyed the podcast please subscribe and rate it.

Own how others affect you
We are often told we are the product of the 5 people we spend the most time with. This episode explores the cases where this isn't true and what we can learn from examining the relationships we have. We learn that actually, the most significant effect is from those that prevent us from being ourselves. Otherwise, we are free to choose the qualities we are inspired by regardless of how much time we spend with people. Questions to reflect on What are my strengths? When do I feel like I am being myself? I am putting my energy directly into the thing I want to do or is it postponed for some reason? Is there a faster way to reach the lifestyle I want? Who are my idols? Why do I look up to them? Could I have better idols? Who are 5 cool but very different friends to me, what would they tell me to do?

205: TEDx, Dragons Den and Creating Impact - Chris Lovett, Author of 'Discovery of Less'
Chris Lovett Chris Lovett is a minimalist, speaker, career mentor, professional executive coach, podcast host, simplicity coach, disruptive thought leader, and author of the bestselling self sufficiency, green living and business motivation book Discovery of Less. Also retired hip hop & rnb DJ, music geek with big hair and voted 'best legs 1998' at a college 5-a-side football tournament. Chris is one of the UK's only motivational speakers (and kinda hilarious one too) on minimalism and the less is progress lifestyle. His minimalist storytelling and the timing of it resonates deeply across personal and professional lives as he share his crazy story behind selling off, donating, recycling and discarding everything he ever owned and walking away from the security of a 'successful' career. You could say he was consumed by stuff - or stuffocated! Plus he talk about the incredible positive impact and psychology behind decluttering, our relationship and attachment with stuff and the 'always on' mentality. The words of his experiences and teachings have touched thousands of lives in over 50 countries and have been featured on prominent lifestyle platforms such as No Sidebar, Minimalism Life and Optimal Living Daily. He have talked at festivals, wellbeing events, financial institutions and consultancy firms across the UK and beyond! - - - Connect with Chris Less is Progress (https://www.lessisprogress.com) LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-lovett-29176933/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/LessisProgress) Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/christolovett/) Twitter (https://twitter.com/ChristoLovett) - - - Growth Mindset podSam Webster Harris explores the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement.
