It can be easy to resign ourselves to fate, to allow ourselves to be conditioned into learned helplessness, waiting for a saviour to come to our aid. Or to succumb to insurmountable odds. But the truth is, more often than not, we have more control than we think. There is always room to make a move, or at the very least, choose our response to the things that stand in our way.
I also explore the idea of 'relaxed productivity' touching on techniques you can use to build your schedule around your life as opposed to just building your life around your work.

S02E05 - You Have More Control Than You Think
There is a lot you can’t control sure enough. You can’t control completely what other people do? You can’t control the weather, you can’t control the economy. You can’t even control the things that happen to you. So, when things go awry, or things are a little difficult, it is easy to blame something else. And the f**ked-up thing about it all is that, it is true. Your excuse is true. But you do have control over one thing – your reaction. And that is all you need. Control how you process your emotion and control the action you take.

S02E04 - The Craftsman's Mentality & Keeping the Goal in front of You
Having the crasftsman's mentality means approaching your life with an eye to excellence. It demands a true passion for what you do and a commitment to doing it as great as you can. It is an intrinsic drive to be the best you can be, and it is invaluable in the path to getting what you want.
I also chat about the importance of putting your goals in front of you. Having them easily accessible and constantly within sight can have many benefits, like serving as a literal reminder in the midst of competing demands, priming your mind to recognise opportunities and cultivating the burning desire you need to push over the long run.
