How was this video or article relevant to my current life? Did it answer a specific question, enlighten me on a topic, etc.
the “who you become matters more than what you accomplish” framing is one i keep circling. with fomties and soffcopy, i’ve been measuring progress by output — how many posts, how many followers, is the product live — when the more honest metric might be what capabilities i’m building. the speed-of-learning concept hits differently at this stage: my ability to learn fast is probably worth more than anything i actually ship in the next 6 months.
- how do we measure personal growth versus external success?
- what systems can we build to accelerate our learning velocity?
- how do we balance outcome-focused goals with process-focused development?
- what does it mean to optimize for becoming rather than achieving?
note: without the full transcript, i cannot provide an accurate list. however, based on typical steven bartlett content, resources often include:
- books on psychology, business, and personal development
- entrepreneurs and thought leaders interviewed on the diary of a ceo
- frameworks from behavioral science and business strategy
- weekly learning velocity check — at the weekly review, answer: what’s one thing I learned this week that I couldn’t do before? if the answer is nothing, that’s a signal to change inputs.
- optimise for becoming, not completing — when choosing between two tasks, pick the one that builds a skill over the one that checks a box.
- in the shutdown section, note one capability gained or strengthened today (even micro — “figured out how to do X in DaVinci”).
- write a “who am I becoming” statement for the current 12 week year cycle — not what I’ll achieve, but what I’ll be capable of by the end
- apply the personal-growth-over-achievement lens to fomties and soffcopy planning: what skills does building these develop?
- identify the single highest-leverage skill to develop in the next 90 days across all current projects
