About this episode

The best things in life aren't always the easiest and it's often this exertion and extra effort that holds us back from diving in or fully committing. Whether it's a new routine, an ambitious study schedule or workout plan, knowing how we can use psychology and neuroscience to make hard tasks easier is incredibly valuable. In today's episode we discuss: 

  • The 5 minute rule 
  • The power of a persona 
  • Using mental imagery and visualisation to do hard things 
  • The power of learned industriousness 
  • The 3 forms of motivation to know and implement 

This episode will make all the hard things you've been putting off infinitely easier. Listen now!
