Are there things on your to-do list you do because you feel obligated to, but that you really don’t like doing? Yeah, we’ve got a few of those, too…

In this episode we’ll share our own personal experiences with obligations - what they are, why we do them, and some different ways of looking at those less-than-ideal to-do’s from a new perspective to make them a little easier to tackle.

Points Discussed in this Episode

• Things we do out of pure obligation - that we don’t want to do. Why do we do them?


• Feeling accomplished after completing an obligation


• Setting boundaries and saying no to things you don’t want to do


• Things we feel obligated to do, but that we also kind of want to do - are these the things that push us outside of our comfort zone?


• Obligations cross-culturally and how those play out


• Things we love doing - period 


• Discuss Naval’s question: "A personal metric: how much of the day is spent doing things out of obligation rather than out of interest?"


• Choosing our own path 


• Different phases of our lives bringing on different types of obligations

Thank you so much for joining us for this episode where we share our own experiences answering the question: Want to do, have to do, get to do: which is it?
