Heavier Stuff & Harder Problems
Overcoming plateau.

To overcome plateau:
Physically: Lift heavier stuff.
Mentally: Solve harder problems.

A simple but universal truth:
Pain precedes growth.
Like most painfully simple ideas, it’s easy to forget when you’re stuck on something.
But I’d like to offer what I think is an important distinction: we plateau when we don’t feel any pain, it could be described as apathy, indifference, boredom - but it’s not pain.
When you’re bored, indifferent, apathetic, or stuck, look for a harder problem to solve, a harder conversation to have, a longer route to run, or a heavier bit of metal to lift.
Look for pain.
Yours painfully,
