It's Better To Have No Hope

The Interesting Health & Safety Podcast

We only have around 4000 weeks of life, and so making each one count is vital. In this episode, Colin talks about why it's crucial that we do all we can to make an impact during the time we have.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• People fail every day by trying to follow to-do lists. It's time for us to look at it a new way, and build "what we've achieved" lists.
• Setting unrealistic goals are absolving people from responsibility. By placing deadlines far into the future, we shift responsibility onto who comes after us.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Rather than think about the things you have do, look back and reflect on what you've done'

'Every day, these goals prevent us from doing something'
