In this week's mini-episode we discuss **process over outcomes,** a mental model we've also referred to as **habits over results.** This concept teaches us to balance long-term goals with the short-term habits needed to achieve them. We discuss how building habits motivates us by creating consistent "wins," how quick feedback enables us to pivot early, and when "trust the process" can become bad advice.
