Description
“Better or happier usually takes much less time than we think.” – Sarah Von Bargen
Sarah Von Bargen (@yesandyesblog) is a writer, teacher, and business/lifestyle consultant. Her work focuses on goal-setting, work/life balance, productivity habits, money management, and the pursuit of happiness.
In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Sarah deconstruct her six principles for identifying, embracing, and maintaining happiness:
Principle #1: You’re probably not the exception to the rule (6:30)
Principle #2: Stop pretending it’s easy (15:30)
Principle #3: The truth about work/life balance is that you’re going to find “success” a lot slower if you have that balance (17:30)
Principle #4: Track your process not your progress (37:30)
Principle #5: You probably can’t predict what will work (45:50)
Principle #6: Don’t set goals you can’t control (50:00)
