Better Than Yesterday: Osher Günsberg

To Not Do List

In this episode, Osher talks about how in times of stress his “to do” list grows from an achievable series of tasks into an overwhelming mountain of improbable, high-stakes ideas.


Perhaps you can relate?

As the list gets longer, the stress mounts, the distraction gets worse, the quality of work plummets, your effective ability to complete any of those tasks dwindles and then you start to put other things on the list that make up for the things you’ve now missed on the list.

Thankfully there’s a way around this.

The “To NOT do list”.

Enjoy writing yours.

Sure, there were bumps in the road - but it’s important to hear that no success is linear. Michael is a truly joyful man, despite the immense physical challenges he currently faces. Michael’s new book KLIM is out right now, and it is more than a sporting memoir. It’s a courageous look into what it costs to be the best, and what it takes to meet the kind of challenges you and I would never dream of facing - in or out of the pool. ‌ To get exclusive content, get in touch, or ask a question for Monday’s Q&A show - subscribe to the substack: https://oshergunsberg.substack.com/
