A Neighborhood Guide (and Why I'm Leaving Mexico City)

How I Keep Going When Motivation Isn’t There

In this second episode of my six-part series, DETAILS, I’m talking about consistency. The part where the routine exists, you know what to do, but you just don't feel like doing it. I share what I'm working towards right now, and a few small reframes from Tim Ferriss and Rich Roll that have changed how I think about showing up.
