Feeling stuck in life? Real people share 10 time-tested ways to 'unstick' yours…
"Just take one thing you need to be doing and do it for two minutes."
Stanford Lecturer Graham Weaver Offers Four Key Strategies to Overcome Being 'Stuck' In a recent viral video, Graham Weaver, a distinguished lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Business and founder of Alpine Investors, addressed a common challenge faced by many: feeling stuck in a rut. Drawing from his experience, Weaver outlined four straightforward yet powerful tips designed to help individuals regain momentum and achieve their goals. Weaver began by highlighting a frequent question from his Stanford students: 'I'm stuck in a rut, what do I do?' His answer, he explained, often comes down to one of four core issues, or a combination thereof. Firstly, Weaver emphasized the importance of confronting what one is avoiding. 'I need to go right at that,' he stated, underscoring the necessity of direct action against procrastination or fear. Secondly, he advised on simplifying goals. 'Translate my goal into something very simple that I can do today,' he recommended, promoting the idea of breaking down large aspirations into manageable, immediate steps. His third tip focused on daily achievement: 'How do I win today? Just write down three things I can move forward on today, and then get up and repeat that tomorrow.' This encourages a consistent, incremental approach to progress. Finally, Weaver urged viewers to identify and address habits that are interfering with their desired direction. 'What are the habits that are interfering with where I want to go?' he posed, prompting self-reflection on detrimental routines. Weaver's concise advice provides a practical framework for anyone seeking to overcome inertia and foster personal and professional growth.
