Guest Spotlight: Rebekah Scott on Living Aligned Podcast with Michelle Pfile

In today’s episode, I explore three powerful permissions that can significantly enhance your productivity, creativity, and overall well-being. Embrace these permissions to break free from perfectionism, unrealistic long-term planning, and the fear of starting small.

Key Takeaways:
Permission to Do Things at 80%
Freedom from Perfection: Understand that aiming for 80% completion allows you to start and finish projects without the paralyzing need for perfection.
Practical Application: Implementing this in both work and home life can lead to more completed projects and less overwhelm.
Real-Life Impact: Moving deadlines forward and making adjustments in real-time helps achieve goals faster and keeps momentum.
Permission to Not Plan Past 3-5 Years
Focused Planning: Limiting planning to 3-5 years makes goals more tangible and less intimidating.
Concrete Steps: Break down long-term dreams into actionable yearly steps, allowing for more detailed and realistic planning.
Personal Example: Sharing a real-life example of building a bunkhouse, illustrating how short-term planning made a dream actionable and achievable.
Permission to Do All Things at 1% Initially
Small Steps to Big Dreams: Embrace the power of starting with just 1% effort. Every significant accomplishment begins with a tiny step.
Compounding Effect: Understand how small, consistent actions lead to significant, compounding results over time.
Practical Examples:From writing down ideas to making small inquiries, learn how to gradually build towards larger goals.

Actionable Tips:
Procrastination Buster: Identify tasks you've been delaying due to the need for perfection and give yourself permission to complete them at 80%.
Short-Term Vision: Reflect on what the next 3-5 years could look like for you, and break down those goals into yearly steps.
1% Efforts: Start any new idea or project with a 1% effort and continue to build on that momentum.

Listener Challenge: After listening to this episode, take 10 minutes to:
Identify something you’re procrastinating on and give yourself permission to complete it at 80%.
Visualize what your life could look like 3 years from now.
Start a new project or idea with just 1% effort.

Why the "Touch it Once" Paper System Will Solve Your Overwhelm with  Guest Tiffny Hagan

Dr. Lauren Skattum is a double boarded doctor in OB GYN and life style. She practices in Sioux Falls SD and her goal is to help women reach their full potential with goals for both mind and body. There are some hard stages after giving birth and then raising our kiddos that she believes is time for us to focus on our own health and optimizing it for our own sake. We go over what hormones are needed, what preventive care we can do and what kind of test is ideal for getting our hormones checked.
