The Book:
In today’s world, the acceleration of megatrends – increasing longevity and the explosion of technology among many others – are transforming life as we now know it.

In The Perennials, bestselling author of 2030, Mauro Guillén unpacks a sweeping societal shift triggered by demographic and technological transformation. Guillén argues that outmoded terms like Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z have long been used to pigeonhole us into rigid categories and life stages, artificially preventing people from reaching their full potential. A new postgenerational workforce known as “perennials” – individuals who are not pitted against each other either by their age or experience – makes it possible to liberate scores of people from the constraints of the sequential model of life and level the playing field so that everyone has a chance at living a rewarding life. Guillén unveils how this generational revolution will impact young people just entering the workforce as well as those who are living and working longer.

This multigenerational revolution is already happening and Mauro Guillén identifies the specific cultural, organizational and policy changes that need to be made in order to switch to a new template and usher in a new era of innovation powered by the perennials.


The Guest:
Mauro F. Guillén is one of the most original thinkers at the Wharton School, where he is Professor of Management and Vice Dean for the MBA for Executives Program. An expert on global market trends, he is a sought-after speaker and consultant.

Are you tired of setting S.M.A.R.T goals and not achieving them? Do you feel like every goal-setting video or podcast gives the same exact advice? If so, you are not alone. The truth is, S.M.A.R.T goals are not always effective because they do not consider context or situation. They rely exclusively on willpower and internal motivation to get you to take action, which is not always enough.
Luckily, there is a better way. In this video, we introduce you to the Matthews Method, a new goal-setting process that considers social pressure and individual circumstances. Dr. Gail Matthews conducted a study on goal-setting in 2015 and found that the Matthews Method resulted in a 76% increase in goal achievement likelihood. That's right, 76%!
By incorporating social pressure and individual circumstances, the Matthews Method makes it more likely that you select goals that you are capable of consistently pursuing. It also utilizes social pressure as an additional motivational tool rather than just willpower. The study conducted by Dr. Gail Matthews shows that this approach is incredibly effective.
So, if you're tired of struggling to achieve your goals and want to try a new approach, watch this video and learn how to apply the Matthews Method to your own life. Join the conversation and share your thoughts in the comments below. And for more motivational content, check out episode 879 where we discuss how to get and stay motivated.

Procrastination is a universal struggle that can hinder our productivity and progress. It&#39;s a frustrating habit that affects many aspects of our lives, from work to personal goals. However, in the podcast &quot;Tiny Leaps, Big Changes&quot; hosted by Gregg Clunis, listeners are provided with valuable insights and strategies to combat procrastination and enhance their productivity.

Understanding Procrastination:
In this episode, Gregg Clunis delves into the concept of procrastination, emphasizing the frustration it brings. He explores common reasons why people procrastinate, including a lack of engagement, confidence, energy, and support. By understanding the root causes, listeners can gain valuable insights into their own procrastination patterns.

Ways to Get Organized:
To overcome procrastination, organization is key. Gregg introduces several practical techniques to help listeners get organized and stay focused.
The Eisenhower Box is a powerful tool for prioritization. By dividing tasks into four categories - Important and Urgent, Important but Not Urgent, Not Important but Urgent, and Not Important and Not Urgent - listeners gain clarity on what needs immediate attention and what can be delayed or eliminated.
Time blocking is another effective strategy discussed in the podcast. By dividing the day into dedicated blocks of time for different tasks or categories, individuals can structure their schedules and eliminate distractions during those focused periods. Flexibility is essential in making this technique work for individual needs and preferences.
The Pomodoro Technique provides a structured approach to working in focused bursts. By setting a timer for 25 minutes, working on a task, and then taking short breaks, individuals can maintain their focus and productivity throughout the day. This method helps break tasks into manageable increments and encourages sustained effort.
The 2-Minute Rule is a simple yet impactful strategy that encourages immediate action. If a task takes less than 2 minutes to complete, it is advisable to tackle it right away. For tasks that require more time, committing to at least 2 minutes of work on them can help overcome the initial resistance to getting started.

Behavioral Changes and Mindset Shifts:
Beyond organizational techniques, the podcast explores the importance of behavioral changes and mindset shifts in combating procrastination. Gregg emphasizes the significance of a healthy routine and environment, as they play a vital role in fostering productivity. Establishing positive habits and creating an environment conducive to focus and concentration can greatly enhance productivity levels.
Changing how we view tasks and time is another crucial mindset shift. Rather than aiming for perfection, focusing on progress and embracing the idea that imperfect action is better than no action can help overcome the fear of failure and perfectionism that often contribute to pro

In this episode, we look at a basic process that just might help improve your self-control. 

Episode Overview:
1. Trigger Mapping: We kick off by defining what trigger mapping is and discuss why it plays a crucial role in behavior modification. The idea behind trigger mapping and its profound impact on our behaviors is explored.

2. Deep Dive into Triggers: We dive deeper into triggers using the Fogg Behavior Model. We then proceed to categorize triggers into two broad types - internal, those arising from our feelings, and external, those driven by events around us. Common examples of triggers and their implications are also looked into.

3. Neutrality of Behaviors: Here we delve into the concept of the neutrality of behaviors, emphasizing that behaviors in themselves are neither good nor bad. Instead, they often get their labels from societal or cultural influences. We discuss how behavior aligns or doesn't align with personal goals, underscoring that it's okay either way.

4. The Power of Awareness: We shed light on how increased awareness leads to significant behavior changes. Conscious recognition of one's thoughts, emotions, and actions is a pivotal step towards self-improvement and personal growth.

5. How to Trigger Map: Wrapping up the episode, we provide a comprehensive guide on how to engage in trigger mapping. The process starts with identifying actions perceived as 'negative', and then analyzing the situation surrounding these actions. We delve into the role of internal and external factors and demonstrate how to map a trigger (or list of triggers) to the action. We then discuss strategies on how one could potentially change the trigger-action sequence. An example of this could be the habit of overeating when staying up late.

This episode will help you understand your triggers better and equip you with the necessary tools to enable behavioral change. Tune in to gain insights into the science of triggers, the neutrality of behaviors, and the power of awareness.

In today's episode, I explore the intriguing "Trigger &gt; Thought &gt; Action &gt; Consequence" model that governs our daily decisions and actions. I introduce this process, illustrating its components with familiar examples like snacking habits, reactions to alarms, and social media usage. 
I delve into each element of the model, beginning with 'Triggers,' which can be external events or internal feelings. Next, I discuss 'Thoughts,' shaped by individual backgrounds including beliefs, perceptions, and experiences. 'Actions' follow, ranging from conscious to semi-conscious, and finally 'Consequences,' the outcomes of our actions, which can be immediate or delayed, positive or negative.
I then explore the intricate relationships between these components and the impact of external factors like socio-cultural norms, environmental conditions, interpersonal relationships, and biological aspects. I conclude by addressing the challenges in managing this process, like the complexities of thought processes, the unpredictability of external factors, and the difficulty of changing ingrained habits.
Don't miss the next episode, where I'll provide a strategy for effectively navigating this process. Share this episode with friends interested in understanding human behavior and subscribe for more insightful content.

Blink Date
In this interview, Gregg speaks with Taly, the founder of a dating app called "Blink." Taly shares her background as a lawyer and discusses her journey of transitioning to different careers. She introduces her dating app, "Blink," which offers a unique approach to dating by focusing on compatibility and communication rather than making judgments based on superficial appearances. 
Throughout the interview, Taly shares her perspective on overcoming self-doubt and the challenges of being a solo entrepreneur. She emphasizes the importance of taking small steps, breaking down tasks, and seeking help from others. Taly reflects on the impact of her immigrant background, which instilled in her a strong work ethic and determination, while also acknowledging the need to unlearn the mindset of trying to do everything alone.
The conversation also touches on the philosophy of failure, with Taly viewing it as a learning experience rather than a negative outcome. She draws inspiration from the Israeli approach to failure, where it is seen as an experiment and an opportunity to iterate and try again.

Sharing our personal experiences can have profound effects on others. One such effect is motivating them to take the kind of action that eventually leads to positive changes in their lives. It's really easy to say that people should just get motivated, it's even easier to tell them they need to go watch a motivational video or read a book, but the reality is it doesn't work that way.
There are a number of things that contribute to an individual becoming motivated or losing motivation, but one of the most consistent ways to increase motivation is to borrow it from others. By sharing your story and journey, whether good or bad, you give people a valuable tool to help them manage their own motivation so that they can take the actions they need to. 
In addition to helping others navigate their motivation, it's also a great way to show that no one is ever truly alone. Whether we want to admit it or not, feeling like we are alone can make a common (yet no less frustrating) experience feel much much worse. By creating a culture of opening up about our situations, it allows others to recognize that their circumstances aren't as unique or strange as they may seem. This can boost confidence and self-esteem, allowing people to better tackle the challenges they face.

874 - Sharing your story (why we all need to)

Burnout is a state of physical, mental and emotional exhaustion that can result from chronic stress, especially in the workplace. It can affect anyone, but it's particularly common among people who work in demanding, competitive or high-pressure environments. Burnout can have serious consequences for your health, happiness and productivity. But what causes burnout and how can we prevent it? In this episode, I will argue that burnout is not just a personal problem, but a social and economic one. I will explain how capitalism, the dominant system of production and consumption in our society, creates the conditions for burnout and makes it harder to cope with. But we're going to end on a pretty positive note because I will also suggest some ways to resist burnout and reclaim your well-being while living in a capitalist world.

873 - How to avoid burnout

In this episode, we explore the alluring and often overwhelming desire to do it all. We start by acknowledging that we all have the capability to do anything we set our minds to, but being capable and being good are two different things. We often find ourselves envious of others who excel in a particular task or craft, which can send us down a rabbit hole of excitement and inspiration, only to lose interest when the next shiny thing comes along.
So why does this happen? Where does our need to constantly do more come from? We delve into how societal pressure to be productive and constantly improving can contribute to this cycle, but we also recognize the importance of pursuing things we're interested in and finding what we love. However, it's crucial to understand the difference between being interested in something and it being for us.

872 - How to focus when you want to do everything

In this episode, we explore the importance of understanding the motivations behind personal change. Often, we feel pressure to improve ourselves because society tells us we're not good enough as we are. But the truth is, we are already enough. Personal change should come from a place of self-love and acceptance, not external pressure. We must question the messages that society sends us and determine whether we truly want to make a change for ourselves or for someone else.
Moreover, personal growth isn't just about us. When we work on ourselves, we're not just improving our own lives; we're also positioning ourselves to help others. We can use our skills, talents, and resources to make a positive impact on our communities. By understanding our own motivations for change, we can ensure that our growth serves a greater purpose and benefits those around us.
Finally, we discuss the role of community in personal development. Having a supportive community can make all the difference when it comes to achieving our goals. By surrounding ourselves with people who believe in us and want to see us succeed, we can build the confidence and resilience we need to make lasting change. We encourage listeners to embrace imperfection and recognize that growth is a journey, not a destination. By understanding who our personal change is for, we can stay motivated and committed to our goals while making a positive impact on the world around us.
