  • Advice to My Younger Self: Developing Disciplines
    Nov 27 2024

    In this episode, Adam and Barnabas wade into some deep, murky, and seemingly not-very-fun waters to discuss the importance of discipline in life.

    • What is a “discipline”?
    • What are disciplines you developed later in life you wish you had invested in earlier?
    • What are the most important disciplines in your life?
    • How does someone keep disciplines from feeling like drudgery (or legalism, in the case of spiritual disciplines)?
    • What is a discipline you still need to work on?

    And of course they take a few moments to be properly curmudgeonly about a nitpicky, petty, and otherwise mundane topic.
