Summary
Back when I was a web designer, I encountered today’s guest in a unique way. A client sent me some sites that he liked, and one of them was the minimalist home belonging to this guest, James Clear.
Last year I got to hear James speak at a conference we were both presenting at, and he blew me away! Not only is he an engaging speaker, but he really backs up everything he says with research studies and interesting stories. He’s a master at teaching others about productivity and habits, and I’m so thrilled to be sharing him with you in this episode that is both actionable, and entertaining.
In today’s interview we talk about his philosophy of getting just 1% better every day, how to be more productive and why research shows that it’s better to create often than to strive for perfection. I know you are going to love this interview and it’s going to change so much for you (in a positive way)!
