Episode 701: How to Protect Your Non-Negotiables When Life Gets Full

The season will expand to fill whatever space you give it.

You get to decide how much that is.

In this episode I distinguish between what is truly non-negotiable and what is simply a preference, and make the case that the former list is usually shorter than most people think. I also name the mechanism by which non-negotiables erode, not through one dramatic decision but through a series of small, reasonable-seeming compromises that compound into a significant deficit. And I offer the two things that protect against that pattern: clarity about what you are actually protecting, and the pre-commitment to protect it before the pressure arrives to test you.
