Summary

"Your brain is wired to keep you alive, not to keep you happy." - Britt Frank

What is really going on with procrastination and self-sabotage? What if our problem isn’t a lack of motivation? What if the solution is something other than beating ourselves up or just trying harder?

How do we make the leap between thinking and doing?

In this episode with Britt Frank:

Why don’t we do the things we know we’re supposed to?
Why can’t we think ourselves forward when we feel stuck?
Why are the words “lazy” and “unmotivated” completely false?
Procrastination and self-sabotage and other fallacies that keep us stuck
The difference between accountability and shaming
Motivation and brain function - what actually works
