Episode 3822: Anthony Ongaro shares a practical method for achieving meaningful progress by creating "checkpoints," small, intentional markers that help break down larger goals into manageable milestones. This approach encourages consistency, reduces overwhelm, and builds confidence by celebrating progress along the way. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.breakthetwitch.com/creating-check-points/ Quotes to ponder: "Creating checkpoints is a way to slow down and acknowledge the progress we’ve made, rather than constantly focusing on what’s next." "Without clear markers, it’s easy to feel like we’re spinning our wheels even when we’re moving forward." "A checkpoint doesn’t have to be a completed goal, it’s simply a moment where we intentionally take stock of where we are."

1:08.2	I've been thinking a lot about minimalism recently, specifically the idea of living with less stuff and prioritizing experiences. Over the last two years,
1:12.4	this philosophy has been incredibly effective in helping Amy and me slowly craft our lives into
