How to be a Long Term Person in a Short Term World: Methods for Living an Ambitious, Authentic, Unapologetic Life

A sad truth of the human condition: Most people die regretting things they thought about doing but never actually did.

A second sad truth: Each of us thinks we are the exception.

A third: We’re not.

Whether we recognize it or not, the short term and the long term are waging a war within us every day. Unless we align our day-to-day actions with the year-to-year person we want to be, we will not become that person.

This book helps align your short term with your long term by showing you:

● simple strategies for aligning your hour-to-hour actions with your year-to-year aspirations;

● how to maintain productivity despite knocks on the door, pulls on your sleeve, and people who expect us to be on-demand; and

● easy ways to keep making progress when the world hits you in the gut, when you drop the ball for weeks at a time, or when you just plain change your mind about what you want to do. (After all, what good is a productivity system that falls apart at the first sign of trouble?)

But here’s the truth:

No book can do the job for you.

If you are willing to put in the work, this book will help you.

If you’re just looking to spin your wheels and “feel” productive by reading a book on productivity, look elsewhere. (There are plenty to choose from. You can usually tell because they are absurdly short and make silly promises on their covers.)

This book was written with one purpose in mind:

to be the last productivity book you ever read.

Life is short and you shouldn’t waste it reading books that tell you how to plan goals and manage time. You should be out there doing it.

So go do it.

A long term person starts today.
A long term person starts now.
