Well, Governor. This is Tim Ferris recording from the UK where I'm trying to blend in. Welcome to another episode of the Tim Ferris Show, where my usual job is to sit down with world class performers of all different types. to interview them and tease out habits, routines, favorite books, et cetera. There are seven hundred plus of those interviews in the back catalog, and we'll get back to that shortly, but this time around we have a different format. In this short and very tactical episode I share some of my personal approaches, my personal methods.

For how to get out of a rut. Get unstuck, re aurself at big outcomes. reset and refocus, and make progress on a daily basis. Despite These self defeating tendencies. and inner voices that we all have. And that applies to

Everyone I've met. the top of the top in any given field. We all have those days. The first story I tell is of a three to four week period when I was beset by all sorts of personal challenges and ultimately the approach that saved my sanity. Does not require any heroic efforts. Any differential calculus. It is beautifully simple.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is 1 credit.
