STOP RUSHING INTO EVERYTHING. Guys, we’re tired of this culture of immediacy. Are you guys with us? We’re talking about expectations to get things done ASAP and as quickly as possible, especially when it comes to our work, but also in many other areas of our lives. We’re going to talk about the negative sides of this type of culture (SPOILER: there are MANY cons to it) and what we can do to set expectations on our side.

[2:30] What is this Culture of Immediacy?? The woes of instant gratification are real, guys.

[6:45] Why Is This Type of Culture Bad for Us? From burnout to compromising the quality of our work AND life… there’s a lot of negative side effects when we give into instant gratification.

[15:40] How Do WE Break the Cycle? Our lack of self love can be seen in the way that we judge others. That hurts, right?

• Add it to your core values if it is IMPORTANT to you [16:15]
• How about some BOUNDARIES? [18:00]
• Check in with yourself [20:30]
• Empathize with your future self [21:42]

• Break down your goals to make them more manageable [24:21]

We hope this episode resonated with you and helps you find ways to SLOW DOWN. It takes some effort, but it’s worth not giving into this instant gratification. Your future self will thank you :) We’d love to know your thoughts! You know where to reach uuuusss.
