In this episode Ankur Warikoo shares his insights on the distinction between setting goals and establishing habits for personal and professional growth. He narrates a personal experience of waking up with a sore neck, which disrupted his workout routine, leading to a broader discussion on the pressure of goals and the resilience of habits. He argues that while goals can create unnecessary pressure and disappointment when not met daily, habits naturally integrate into our lives, making progress inevitable without the added stress of daily achievement. He advocates for focusing on building habits rather than setting rigid goals, using the example of writing a book as an illustration of how consistent habits lead to achievement over time.
