The 'Get To' way of working | #28
The concept of 'Have to' vs. 'Get to'
Hello 👋 Pranav here
Currently, we are 60 curious people reading these newsletters every week.
I am on a mission to make a dent in the Indian education system and impact India. Subscribe if you want to impact India.
Every Friday, I share my process, my thoughts and some recommendations for good videos, podcasts, songs or anything interesting things I have consumed over the week.
I was watching a video of Ali Abdaal and from him, I learnt about a concept called ‘Have To vs. Get To’. It’s a mental mindset game which completely changes the game of how we do things.
Let’s take this example. There are some newsletters which I wrote on Thursday evening for the next day because I had to be consistent. This one is also written yesterday. Earlier I used to think that I have to write newsletters because I have to be consistent and I wanted to be better at writing. But then I learnt about this concept and I tried to change my perspective on how I looked at my content. Instead of thinking that ‘I have’ to write a newsletter every week, I changed my perspective to ‘every week ‘I get’ to inspire people and give them knowledge about various things and make them aware of various topics.’ It’s just about the change of perspective that will drive you towards work.

Book I am reading
I am still reading Rich Dad Poor Dad. I am a bit slow in reading books.
Want to know my favourite books, check them out here
I love making notes while reading and I store them digitally. I referred to these videos before starting my note-making process.
Weekly Recommendations
Recently I am studying neuroscience on the internet. If you want to start learning about neuroscience, this podcast of Sid Warrior on The Ranveer Show. Dr Siddarth Warrier is a neurologist and doctor. Apart from being into neuroscience, he is also a content creator, where he explores science, mental health and human behaviour, bringing neuroscience to the mainstream conversation.
Recently Dr Sid was on Chalchita Talks too. He has given some feel-good
recommendations in the video.
If you are interested in neuroscience and studying it, share the resources you all are studying about it. You can comment
To ask me or tell me anything, you can, of course, always write to me, by emailing me or DMing me on my social media. I love reading all your emails and DMs, though I may take time to reply to all of them.
YES! I READ ALL MY EMAILS AND DMs. ALL OF THEM.
