Why You’ll Care About Completely Different Things in 5 Years

Description

Ever look back at something you obsessed over… and now you can’t even remember why?

This episode’s about that gap. The gap between what you care about today and what future-you will actually give a damn about.


We’ll talk about puppies that can’t tell a cushion from a laptop, people who think their city is the center of the world, and why your 16-year-old self thought video games were the meaning of life. Turns out, value isn’t fixed. It drifts. Sometimes overnight. Sometimes over decades. The trick is spotting which things are worth fighting for and which will fade like old Instagram filters.


Three takeaways:




  • Audit your current priorities—80% probably don’t matter long-term.




  • Build habits around values, not just goals.




  • Get perspective by stepping outside your normal environment.
