Episode 1720:

Leo Babauta shares a powerful approach to achieving goals through short, focused sprints that cut through procrastination and overwhelm. By committing fully for a limited time and eliminating distractions, you create momentum and clarity that longer-term efforts often lack.

Quotes to ponder:

"A sprint is a short burst of intense focus, eliminating distractions and excuses."

"It’s about creating a sacred space of time where you are completely devoted to something meaningful."

"The container of a short sprint gives us permission to let go of everything else, and just be in full devotion."
