Are You Playing the Long Game?
EPISODE 101
It’s easy to get caught up chasing quick wins and instant gratification, but what if you slowed down and took purposeful action towards your long-term plans? Where would you be in one year, two years, or five years? What projects could you bring to fruition? A book, an exhibition, a podcast, an online course, a creative network…
There are so many possibilities, but every single one requires consistent action over a long period of time. This week we chat about our own experiences with playing the long game including how we stay motivated and on task. We also chat about the harder parts and why sometimes you just have to bake cookies! We hope you enjoy the episode and it encourages you to stay the path and keep working towards your creative goals.
A few things we talk about:
The difference between playing a short game and a long game.
Making time for thinking BIG!
Improving processes to improve outcomes.
Prioritising work that will lead to rewards in the future and having yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily goals.
Being prepared to do the work and let other things fall away (without feeling like a failure).
Staying motivated and energised during a long project.
