Creative discipline. You want it. You know what you want. You just don't know how to make yourself do it.

It's the freaking most annoying thing in the world. You've heard all the structures, all the hacks of how to do habits and all this stuff.

But most of those resources miss out on what creatives and neurodivergent people need most, which is the emotional game,

the mental emotional game of how to get yourself to act.

Today on the show, we have Eric Zimmer, the host and guy behind the popular podcast, the one you feed,

as well as the author of the new book,

How a Little becomes a lot. And this is what I appreciate so much about Eric and this book

is that he isn't someone that just came into the world, fully like disciplined and just locked in. This is a guy that really

struggled for his life with heroin addiction early in his life and became one of the most

sober grounded people that I have encountered. And he filled this book up with not just the structures, they're there, but also the emotional

side, the mental side, and all the fighting and games that we play with ourselves.

And there's just a lot in here on how to work with yourself.

And so today, we are going to explore all of that.

And at the end, I'm going to bring you a three-part values exercise from the book

that I found really enlightening and really surprising in terms of what my values are

and what I'm trying to really achieve and be in this world.

And first, we're going to talk about why things from this book, ideas from this book,

helped me have a better start to this year than I have had in years.

So let's go.

But don't worry, you'll lift up.

Sometimes you just need a creative pepter.

Warmer weather is here.
