Episode 386
“I'm not gifted. I'm not smarter than everybody else. I'm not stronger. I just have the ability to stick to a plan and not quit.”
That’s a quote from Jonny Kim. A Navy SEAL, Harvard educated medical doctor and NASA Astronaut. All of which was achieved before he was thirty five.
Now the key part to that quote is “the ability to stick to a plan and not quit” And that’s the topic of this week’s podcast.

Hello, and welcome to episode 383 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.
It took me many years to learn that the best things in life never happen by accident. They are the products of slow steady work.
Becoming a lawyer or a doctor is not about making a decision in middle school and then miraculously ten years later you’re performing in the Supreme Court or surgery in a top hospital.
It takes years of slow steady study, experiencing ups and downs and frequently wanting to quit because it’s hard.
Yet that’s the way it’s supposed to be. It’s hard because as human beings we thrive when we have a goal that requires us to work hard consistently.
Jonny Kim is remarkable because he did three incredibly hard things. Yet, to achieve all of them required him to follow a simple process of study and preparation. It wasn’t impossible. All it took was a steely determination to achieve these things, being consistent and, to take control of his calendar.
And that’s what this week’ question is all about. How to do the the hard things consistently so you start to see progress.
So, let me now hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week’s question.
This week’s question comes from Joe. Joe asks, hi Carl, the one thing I find incredibly hard to be is consistent. I’m great at setting up task managers and notes apps, but after a few days, I stop following the system. How do you stay consistent?

There could be two parts to this. The first is what I call the “Shiny Object Syndrome
