The Problem With Solving Problems (And What to Do Instead) What if the secret to getting things done isn't a new app, a better schedule, or more motivation? What if it's learning how to befriend the one thing you've been running from your entire life: the problem itself? This isn't your typical self-improvement podcast. We're diving deep into the radical wisdom of author Oliver Burkeman to dismantle the biggest lie in productivity: that problems are the enemy. We'll explore why your constant resistance to life's difficulties is the very thing making them worse, and how accepting them as part of a meaningful life is the ultimate liberation. Get ready to meet the "gnawing rats"—those avoided tasks and uncomfortable feelings that haunt your to-do list. You'll learn the powerful psychological shift to stop the cycle of procrastination and avoidance, not by fighting these feelings, but by turning toward them. We break down the practical steps for dealing with anxiety around difficult changes, understanding why embracing discomfort is the only true compass for progress, and how to finally move forward by taking incredibly tiny steps. If you're tired of fighting a losing battle with your own mind and are ready for a more peaceful, effective way to live, this is for you. Subscribe now to stop resisting and start living.

#OliverBurkeman (spel.?) has a good newsletter with advice about this kind of thing.

#oliverburkeman The 70% rule: If you’re roughly 70% happy with a piece of writing you’ve produced, you should publish it. If you’re 70% satisfied with a product you’ve created, launch it. If you’re 70% sure a decision is the right one, implement it..

Seventy is the new 100%

Taking action without full certainty. Growth only happens in that gap. It’s where the magic of guts and resilience are born.

What do you think of this idea from the #OliverBurkeman newsletter, The Imperfectionist?
