Rewards don’t just come from navigating what is immediately uncomfortable; they also come from navigating what is CONCEPTUALLY uncomfortable. Some people grind fruitlessly away at grueling routines, only to find that if they’d switched to a different routine earlier on—instead of turtling up into the same, stubborn justifications—they’d have made exponential progress. Which, ironically, would…
