Episode 142: On Optimization

April 29, 2022

Hullo, Friends. After an 8-week sabbatical, Systema For Life returns this month with a broad discussion on the subject of focus, attention, and the attempt to "optimize" your daily training and life routines. I'm joined once again by coach and wellness expert, Howard Jacobson.


Here, we get into:


  • Losing and reclaiming routines during the pandemic
  • The upside and downside of tireless life-optimization
  • The focus economy and "productivity porn"
  • Psychological parallels between resolving conflict and resolving your struggles with life
  • Advice for achieving that elusive, healthy balance


Hope you enjoy the conversation. Next one due out in a couple of weeks.
