Summary

On this episode, DC and Adam dig into the next lesson DC wishes knew when he was younger – how to prioritize what matters most and why it doesn't actually matter if you never get to any of the "the small rocks." In other words, do the one thing that will move you closer to your goal. That might take five minutes or it could take many days. Either way, this method of working is the anti-checklist.
