Progress, Not Perfection Conversation of Atomic Habits
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of That First Mile Podcast, Randy brings back Ana (Therapist) and Paola for a conversation how the ideas in Atomic Habits can help you stop relying on motivation and start building systems that work—even on low-energy days.
