In this episode, Brandon & Erik unpack the best mental model they've discovered for how to push your comfort zone. Coined in 1990 by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the C/S Balance describes the ratio between the difficulty of a project and a person's ability to perform the tasks required to successfully complete the project. Learn how to optimize your C/S Balance, how Brandon abused the ratio, and how to stop procrastinating.
