Episode 23 – The Power of Progress & Leading Inconsistently

In this episode we dive into laws 31 & 32 , where we discuss the power of progress and leading inconsistently, with reference to The Hemingway Bridge method.   The Hemingway Bridge method helps you stay focused by stopping work in the middle of a task, not at the end. This "bridge" makes it easier to start again because you know exactly what to do next. It's like leaving yourself a hint so you can quickly pick up where you left off, helping you avoid feeling overwhelmed. This technique is great for small business owners who have lots to do!   Let us know what you think at hello@sianhorn.com and hello@monarchbusiness.ie Intro/Outro Music: Pleasant Porridge Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
