Winning Tactics for Change and Habits
Change is hard! SO! HARD! People can say that they like change, but not a lot of people like TO change, or, to be more exact...people don’t like to BE changed. Some people do like to try to change us though, and I get into that a little bit on this episode as well.
Sometimes change is necessary in order for things to be different. Albert Einstein said that “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again...expecting different results.”
Sometimes we decide to change ourselves or our circumstances because we’re bored with where we are. The boredom forces us to get past it and do something else or actually...do...something. Some of us have been taught that we should never be bored because that’s when the devil creeps in and bad things happen; then, there’s also a saying that “if the devil can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy.” So, which is it? Is he going to creep into my boredom, or is he going to creep into my busyness?

S1 EP5: The Tension Between Optimal Collaboration vs Solitude with Pam Slim and Leo Babauta
Jeffrey's questions:
"When you're wanting to make a radical change in your work life or advance your best ideas, how much collaboration do you need, and how much time alone is best for you to generate and then advance your best ideas?”
In her book, The Creative Habit, celebrated choreographer Twyla Tharp suggests that “a clearly stated and consciously shared purpose is the foundation of great collaboration.” What else do you need to facilitate a successful collaboration? What role does solitude play in allowing you to process ideas and make meaningful contributions to the group? And how do we practice solitude in a world where technology conveniently supplies a distraction any time we feel a little uncertainty or discomfort?
Jeffrey is at the roundtable with mindfulness teacher and author Leo Babauta and award-winning author, speaker and business consultant Pam Slim to explore the characteristics of a successful collaboration and the necessity of solitude as a critical part of the process. Pam and Leo both share the radical transformations that led them to become entrepreneurs and their experiences with the collaborative nature of sharing your writing with an online community. They speak to challenge of embracing uncertainty rather than retreating into your cell phone—and the liberation that comes with opening your heart to discomfort.

This should probably just be a replay of my interview with Leo from ZenHabits.net. The key to money (and probably everything else in life) is to be happy in the moment.

I LOVED doing this interview! Leo really helped me think through priorities, gaining clarity, and determining what matters. I'm more zen-like because of it :)
