Summary

#626 One thing we all want to do is to hone our skills so we can improve our output. But, with tips and tools coming at us from all sides, how do we take action without getting overwhelmed? I remember trying to become a better public speaker and focusing on all the things I needed to work on to make that happen. The list seemed endless, and I was getting nowhere tackling everything at once. The strategy that changed everything for me was the opposite of that. Inspired by James Clear’s Atomic Habits, I decided instead to focus on a single aspect of my presentations at a time and improve on that by 1% every day. So how can you improve one thing the next time you do something? Listen in on this episode to find out about the tactic I use and how you can apply it to your own goals.

0:40.5	to try to improve all the different things, all at the same time.
0:45.3	And as a result of that, we go nowhere or we just find that we're not making any improvements
0:49.1	at all.
0:50.1	And inspired by James Clears book, Atomic Habits, where he talks about the 1% improvement
0:56.2	every day sort of concept, right?
0:58.4	And that 1% although it might seem small, it stacks over time and it starts to exponentially
1:02.0	grow.
1:03.0	And I think the same thing can happen when it comes to learning certain things.
1:06.2	So my advice based on experience, and I'm going to tell you something from my real life
1:11.6	that I have improved upon quite a bit that I was very, very not so great at the start.
1:16.7	As an example here, and I'm talking about public speaking, public speaking is something
1:20.4	I've spoken about before here on the podcast.
