Skip The Sprint
Mar 26, 2024We're all susceptible to the allure of "Go Hard or Go Home" goals.
- Forcing ourselves into daily Herculean workouts at the gym
- Crash diets promising rapid weight loss.
- The all-nighter before the exam.
It’s tempting to seek maximum progress in the shortest time.
But quick progress often leads to quick burnout. It's like sprinting a marathon - it may feel exhilarating at first, but soon, you'll find yourself exhausted and unable to continue.
Significant progress rarely comes from fleeting bursts of intensity. Most goals require sustained effort over an extended period. It's not about going slow. It's about finding a pace you can maintain. A pace that allows you to show up every day and put in the work, trusting in the power of small, incremental steps.
Skip the sprint. Run the marathon.
