[6] channel right now.
[7] In your book, you talk about embracing radical incrementalism.
[8] What does that mean for you?
[9] This is the idea that there are contexts where really being willing to make progress on the basis of little and often, right?
[10] Kind of gradual progress to do a tiny bit at a time and not kind of binging on the things you're trying to achieve can be really powerful.
[11] Again, I'm sorry to coming back to writing as an example, but the work that I'm drawing on there from a psychologist called Robert Boyce who studied academics who write and trying to figure out like, who are the ones who actually get a ton of papers published and a ton of books written, and who are the ones who get mired in like procrastination and paralysis.
[12] And he found that the really productive people in that sphere were the ones who made writing a modest part of their daily life, right?
[13] It occupied like a couple of hours maybe, as opposed to the ones who made it into this huge thing that then became very intimidating and they got all sorts of psychodramas going on with it, because it was something they were willing to sort of do for a little bit, leave aside, come back to, and I think this applies to, especially applies to anything that is like brainwork, but I think it applies to pretty much all kinds of endeavour, right?
[14] There's often a huge benefit in being willing to say, well I'm going to work on this for a tiny amount of time today and I'm going to stop even if I'm on a roll right when my time is up I'm going to stop and then I'm going to come back it makes it something that you can sustain day after day after days if you do the opposite of incrementalism right if you give this if you give this sort of absolutely center stage in your life then if it goes well great if it doesn't go well it becomes this kind of huge intimidating thing and I've found that you know if I'm working on a book say really sort of almost embarrassingly small work days on it regularly done day after day after day so much more productive like in terms of the actual output.
[15] What about deadlines though?
[16] Because when I wrote my book, I think the deadline of having to send it to the publisher just hung over me and was like forcing me to, okay, Steve, today you have to write three, you know, three thousand words.
[17] Yeah, I think deadlines have their role, right?
[18] And I, you know, I would have got nowhere without deadlines.
[19] in newspapers because they sort of kept they sort of helped me sort of bust through perfectionism and stuff because it was just literally you know it's i did these things on a i would write these kind of features for the guardian where i had to like um that the idea came to me or was given to me at like 10 30 in the morning in 5 p .m they needed a two and a half thousand word researched article he's just be like okay i've just got to do it but um in a way i'm sort of training myself out of that now and I think that to make, it isn't a, it's perfectly okay and it's fine, but, but it, but it, but it isn't sustainable.
[20] I think that, you know, that the, to really over the long haul be able to do something like, like writing I've found requires that I have, acquired this ability for sort of dogged persistence rather than, you know, cruising to the, to the deadline.
[21] Did you know that the driver's CEO now has its own job.
