Jerry Seinfeld’s Don’t Break The Chain- A Tried and True Method For Gaining On Your Goals

Optimizing your life to squeeze in new goals can be tricky. I love when I find lightweight, actionable advice for doing something I already do just a little bit better.

This method is originally credited to Jerry Seinfeld though I read about it in a little book called “Get Organized: Do More In Less Time”, by Clara Conlon. The book is an Audible Original and is available as a free listen in the Plus Catalog if you have Audible Plus.
