Key Takeaways

1

To get more accurate project timelines, ask 'When would you be surprised if this wasn't done?' instead of asking for a specific completion date.

2

Combat inertia in your life and career by regularly asking yourself 'If I wasn't already doing this, would I start doing it today?'

3

Define your 'anti-goals' to identify specific outcomes or habits you want to avoid, which is often more effective than chasing vague dreams.
