#267 Why intensity fades and consistency leads to change

You can be a writer with spelling mistakes.

A language learning expert who is afraid of speaking a foreign language.

A psychologist who doesn’t always feel good.

A teacher who doesn’t have all the answers.

You can be anything.

And you’ll always be human.

Day 150: I started a podcast

First, I focused on becoming good at publishing my writing every day.

Then, I started focusing on getting better at writing—a never-ending story.

Now, 150 days later, the cycle starts over.

First, I focus on becoming good at publishing a podcast every day, narrating the daily insights from the newsletter.

And soon, I’ll start getting better at narrating the daily insights—a never-ending story.

You can do me a massive favor by subscribing to the podcast on your favorite podcast app, leaving a 5-star rating, and sharing the podcast with anyone who may find these daily reminders helpful.

The podcast schedule runs behind the newsletter schedule, so you won’t see audio narration for the newest Insights yet, but for older Insights, there’ll be audio embedded on the website.

Thanks so much for being on this journey with me!

A new phone out of necessity – because the old one broke.
A new phone out of longing for the rush of something new.

A new business idea because changing circumstances have rendered the old business model unviable.
A new business idea because the previous one is progressing slower than I expected, and I’m getting bored.

There are many reasons to embrace novelty. And there are just as many reasons to fight it.
