Summary

A critical key to understanding yourself is discovering the residual results you're getting in your life. These are the things you get by default as a result of the systems and habits in your life. This could look like too many meetings, too many emails, too many calories, too much procrastination, or a myriad of other things. Luckily, there's a way to reduce the amount of these residual results and make essential results easier to produce and non-essential results harder to produce. By the end of this episode, you'll understand the counterintuitive practice that will turn modest efforts into remarkable results.
