Transcript Pam: [00:06] You’re listening to Not Bad Advice, where our goal is to offer perspective that helps you improve one aspect of your life at a time. [00:13] I’m Pamela Lund. CK: [00:20] And I’m CK Chung. Pam: [00:22] And we hope that after listening you’ll think, ” Hey, that’s not bad advice!” [00:32] I’m not a proponent of hustle culture or grinding. Or, honestly, working all that much. But I am an advocate for using your resources to achieve whatever will make you feel great. And most great things require work and time. [00:57] There are tons of hacks and tricks to get more done in less time. But you’ll get better results when you train up your ability to just do what has to be done and your capacity to focus rather than relying on tricks. [01:16] We are constantly being trained to focus less intently and for shorter periods of time, for example, growing up, watching television with commercials, train those of us that are over 30 to be able to focus for about seven minutes between commercial breaks. You can get a surprising amount of work done with seven minutes of intense focus, but bigger goals require more. [01:39] So you have to train to combat that loss of focus. Just like as you age, you have to train to prevent muscle atrophy. [01:47] To make consistent and meaningful progress towards your big goals, you need to train yourself to actually start working on the thing you need to do, to stay focused on that thing longer than you normally would, to be able to do what you need to do even when you don’t feel like it, and to keep going when you’re scared. [02:09] So today we’re going to start a series of episodes about how to train these abilities, so you can do more than you think you can and do it faster than you think you can do it. So you can have more time to do whatever else makes you happy. CK: [02:23] We’re not talking about replying to more emails or cramming more mundane work into your day. We’re talking about your passion. Your purpose. Whatever it is that you wish you were doing with your life. [02:35] Doing what it takes to make that happen requires a different level of commitment and mindset, Psychologist and researcher, Angela Duckworth, posits that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a blend of passion and persistence. She calls this special blend “grit,” which is also the title of her book on the subject. [02:56] Building on Angela Duckworth’s work on grit, Steven Kotler, one of the world’s leading experts on maximizing human performance, wrote in his book, The Art of the Impossible, that there are six types of grit, which are all essential. [03:10] These are: the grit to per
