The Science of Pacing (And Not Just For Sport, But All Big Projects In Life)

The Science of Pacing (And Not Just For Sport, But All Big Projects In Life)

COVID-19 has often been compared to a marathon (by us, too! Brad wrote a piece in The New York Times back in May of 2020 saying as much). A big part of this analogy relies on the importance of pacing; and not just physically, but how you frame the pandemic in your mind, too. Yet it's not just COVID-19 that a framework of pacing is helpful for; it's all the big projects in our lives. In this episode of the Growth Equation podcast, Brad and Steve explore how and why pacing is such a useful mental model for approaching diverse endeavors, from a marathon, to writing a book, to starting a company. They introduce four different pacing strategies—positive, even, negative, and variable—and discuss the situations when each makes sense. They also talk about the relationship between the different pacing strategies and risk tolerance; reward upside; and one's experience for the task at hand. You'll leave this episode with a new way to think about progress and a toolkit (and language) for aligning your speed with what's in front of you.

Six Hot (and Thoughtful) Takes on Performance

Six Hot (and Thoughtful) Takes on Performance

On this episode of The Growth Equation Podcast, Brad and Steve offer six hot (and thoughtful) takes on topics related to performance and well-being. They discuss whether it's better to have low expectations and if inspiration can actually help performance. The two debate how much of performance is luck versus skill and how our perceptions change when our knowledge changes. Finally, they turn to why constraints are actually a good thing and how anyone can cultivate courage.Inspiration has limitsChance vs. control. vs. skillConstraintsCourageExpectations vs realityDeep understanding vs. staying on the surfacePlease write a review on Apple Podcasts and help new listeners discover the show!You can find the podcast on:iTunes and Apple PodcastsSpotifyAndroidStitcherFind Brad and Steve on Twitter: @Bstulberg and @stevemagness The post Six Hot (and Thoughtful) Takes on Performance appeared first on The Growth Equation.

The Pandemic and the Burnout Epidemic

The Pandemic and the Burnout Epidemic

In the United States the COVID-19 pandemic is slogging away, now entering its sixth month, making it the perfect time for Brad and Steve to discuss one of their favorite topics: burnout. On this episode of The Growth Equation Podcast, the pair dive into why so many of us are feeling burnt out at this time—from lack of temporary boundaries (e.g., work time v. family time) to lack of physical boundaries (e.g., lack of office v. away) to simple lack of control (e.g., ability to return to “normal”). Fortunately, they offer tools and frameworks to combat burnout, such as taking action, imposing routine, vacillating between stress and rest, and finding purpose.Related Resources:Burnout and the BrainIs Your Boss Causing Your Burnout?A Simple Solution to Millennial BurnoutAn Updated Toolkit to Address BurnoutBurnout Runs Deeper Than Too Much WorkPlease write a review on Apple Podcasts and help new listeners discover the show!You can find the podcast on:iTunes and Apple PodcastsSpotifyAndroidStitcherFind Brad and Steve on Twitter: @Bstulberg and @stevemagness The post The Pandemic and the Burnout Epidemic appeared first on The Growth Equation.
