Dominance is not about personality it's about systems. A lot of people want to dominate in their space, to be the best and number one at what they do. But the key is understanding that dominance comes from consistent behaviors, not just who you are or how you act in the moment. In this episode, I break down the difference between personality and system, and why getting this distinction right is what will actually put you in that dominant position. Show Notes:  [01:54]#1 Dominance is repeatable.  [07:21]#2 Systems create consistency.  [11:29]#3 Presence as a systematic byproduct.

Hate is one of those emotions we don’t like to admit we feel – it’s messy, intense, and often laced with guilt. But it’s also deeply human. It can flare up in obvious moments of conflict, or linger quietly as resentment, judgment, or mistrust. But it’s how we engage with it that makes the big difference. In this episode, we explore the reasons we love to hate - where it comes from, why it’s so powerful, and the ways it can both protect and harm us. We’ll look at how it spreads in a hyperconnected world, and ways we can respond to it if we feel it in ourselves or from others. We’ll explore:• The roots of hatred in group identity, safety and insecurity• Why hating can feel good • Personality traits of trolls• Why our biggest critics can be those closest to us• How hate affects our mind and body• How to stop being a hater, and how to respond to hate from others If you want to explore this difficult emotion without judgement, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Greg Vorst and Michael Nolan, co-founders of Embodied Recovery, to explore the deeper roots of addiction and mental health struggles. Together, they unpack the powerful idea that “the illness is often in the personality,” and how true recovery requires more than abstinence—it demands transformation of how we live, breathe, and relate to ourselves and others. The conversation covers the role of learned helplessness, how body-based practices like Sundo breathing can loosen ingrained patterns, and why recovery is not just coping but awakening into aliveness, peace, and purpose. This dialogue is direct, thought-provoking, and filled with practical insights for anyone navigating healing, trauma, or transformation. About the Guests   Greg Vorst is a licensed therapist, recovery mentor, and practitioner of Sundo—an ancient Taoist breathing and meditation practice. With decades of experience, he bridges psychology, spiritual wisdom, and embodiment work to create practical tools for everyday healing. Michael Nolan is a recovery leader and transformational teacher whose lived experience fuels his work. He helps people move beyond abstinence into awakening—shifting from helplessness to empowerment, and from survival to authentic living. Together, they founded Embodied Recovery, a pioneering treatment center in Silicon Valley. Key Takeaways   Healing is not only about treating symptoms but reshaping personality patterns that keep us stuck. Learned helplessness can keep people trapped, but small nudges from community and structure restore agency. Abstinence is only the foundation—true recovery comes from transforming how we live and relate. The body holds psychological defenses; breathwork and embodiment practices can release stored tension and unlock healing. Protective personality traits (like armoring or judgment) may once have been survival mechanisms but can block intimacy and growth if left unchecked. Recovery is not just coping—it's awakening to aliveness, responsibility, spiritual connection, and empowered choice. A practical first step: share your struggle with a safe friend, guide, or community—truth-telling begins the healing journey.

Send us a text Have you ever wondered why breathing techniques that work for your friends leave you feeling more anxious? Or why everyone tells you to "just relax" when your mind won't stop spinning?After years of helping people manage anxiety, I've discovered something crucial: we've been treating anxiety like it's one-size-fits-all, when it's actually as unique as your fingerprint.In this episode, I break down the 4 distinct anxiety navigation styles:THE THINKER - You analyze everything, searching for the "why" behind every anxious moment. Your brain processes those 60,000 daily thoughts by dissecting each one.THE DOER - You can't sit still when anxiety hits. You clean, exercise, organize - anything to channel that energy into productive action.THE FEELER - You dive deep into emotions, absorbing the energy of everyone around you while processing feelings on a profound level.THE DREAMER - You escape into imagination, books, creativity, and rich inner worlds when anxiety becomes overwhelming.Here's the truth: there's nothing wrong with your natural way of handling anxiety. You're not broken because meditation doesn't work for you. You're simply working with a different operating system.WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:Research-backed strategies tailored to your specific navigation styleWhy traditional anxiety advice might not work for youThe 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique for ThinkersHow to channel anxiety energy purposefully as a Doer"Name it to Tame It" strategies for FeelersReality check techniques for DreamersHow to become the captain of your own ship toward calmer watersTAKE THE FREE QUIZ: https://forms.gle/D1g1p3S7PXEPUaj48Discover your personal anxiety navigation style and get a customized toolkit of strategies that actually work for your unique brain.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 Introduction - Why anxiety strategies fail2:30 The Thinker - Analysis and overthinking6:15 The Doer - Action-based anxiety management10:45 The Feeler - Emotional processing and empathy15:20 The dreamer - Creative escape and imagination19:30 Your personalized toolkit22:00 Taking the quiz and next stepsRemember: your anxiety isn't your enemy.

In the Bhagavad-Gītā, Kṛṣṇa describes, bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ sarva-loka-maheśvaram suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ jñātvā māṁ śāntim ṛcchati (BG 5.29). He said, "If you want śānti, what is śānti? Peace. If you want to feel peaceful, which is impossible in this world, and especially in Silicon Valley, then there are three things that you can come to understand which will allow you that peace you are looking for." The first one is that if you want the love that you're seeking in this world to be fully reciprocated, then give your heart to The Personality of Godhead. That's what it bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ means many people you give your love to can't give it back, true or false? But Kṛṣṇa can give unlimited love back. Whatever we give Him, even the tiniest gesture, if you just one day, unsophisticated, without any context, you just had an urge to offer God a little flower or leaf that you found, and you just offered it in a simple way—no ritual involved, just from the heart—He will accept it. That's one of the main themes of the Bhagavad-Gītā. If you're sincere and you try to offer something, then Kṛṣṇa will accept it, and He'll reciprocate directly with you, and He is only waiting for that. That is what bhakti means, "I understand that I'm looking for love in all the wrong places. I'm just trying to give my affection to those who can't fully reciprocate it." Incidentally, when we develop this sense of loving Kṛṣṇa, then we're able to more fully love everyone. Because our capacity for love for individual entities separated from Kṛṣṇa is limited. We may love them, and then we may hate them. But there's a deeper level of love when we understand that everybody's part of Kṛṣṇa: every animal, every plant, even some of the 52 cousins that we have that we don't like at all. We even love them because we know they're part of Kṛṣṇa. It's a different level of love. ----------------------------------------------------------- To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

Episode Summary: If you’ve ever struggled with discouragement, and we all have because life is full of disappointment and disillusionment, then this episode is for you. In honor of National Day of Encouragement, my co-host, Rev. Jessica Van Roekel and I talk about How to Find Biblical Encouragement for Your Everyday Life. Discouragement can rob us of joy, peace, and a sense of purpose. Encouragement is more than a feeling - it’s a powerful tool to propel us toward hope and confidence even when life feels less than happy. Today we’re going to talk about how to find biblical encouragement for your everyday life. Quotables from the episode: In 2007, a group of young people at the National Leadership Forum at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas saw a lack of encouragement as one of the main obstacles that people face. While dedicating a day to encourage others is noble, we can experience encouragement every day when we turn to the Lord and receive his encouragement. The challenge to receive biblical encouragement is when we know God’s promises but don’t see him working. This topic is close to my heart because I’ve seen firsthand how knowing God, and his promises have encouraged me in the face of difficult and seemingly unchanging circumstances. I know many of our listeners and viewers struggle with discouragement, and my prayer is that today’s conversation will bring encouragement and hope. Knowing God’s names helps us learn to trust him. When we trust him, it’s easier to experience encouragement in our every day. Psalm 9:10 says, Those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you. Relationships are an area where we can experience extreme discouragement. Personality differences can create division. Unforgiveness leads to rifts. It can feel discouraging to desire a healing in a relationship, but every effort is rejected. We’ve talked about the temptation to judge God’s goodness based on humanity’s failures. If our in-person relationships are broken, and we don’t have a vibrant or growing relationship with God, we grow discouraged because we were made for relationship. Friend, if you’ve found yourself in a place of discouragement—especially when you're facing relationship struggles—you are not alone. As a neuropsychologist, I’ve seen how deeply our relationships impact not only our emotional well-being but also our brain health. God designed our brains for connection. We were created in His image, a God who is relational by nature, and He wired us for fellowship—with Him and with each other. When our relationships are strained, whether due to misunderstanding, unmet expectations, betrayal, or emotional distance, our brains register it as a threat. That triggers our stress response—what we often call “fight, flight, or freeze.” Over time, if that stress continues unchecked, it leads to anxiety, depression, trouble sleeping, and a foggy, overwhelmed mind. Our thought life becomes a battlefield, and discouragement sets in. But here's the hope: God doesn’t leave us to navigate this alone. He sees every tear, hears every unspoken word, and knows the condition of our hearts and minds. Psalm 34:18 reminds us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Our healing begins when we bring both our brain health and our relational wounds to the Great Physician. Practical steps include tending to your thought life—taking every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:5), practicing forgiveness to unburden your heart, and choosing truth over lies. Sometimes that means setting healthy boundaries or seeking wise counsel. And always, it means leaning into the One who offers peace that transcends understanding. Your brain can heal. Your heart can mend. And your relationships can be restored—if not with others, then certainly with the Lord, who is the source of all true comfort and strength. Discouragement may visit, but it doesn’t have to take up permanent residence. Knowing God as Abba leads us to know God as a wonderful Father. (Galatians 4:6) He is the Alpha and Omega – Jesus was in the beginning as the Word of God and he is God’s final word for all eternity. (Revelation 21:6) As Adonai, we recognize his leadership in our life. He is our Lord and Ruler. (Ezekiel 16:8) El Chay, or Living God, reminds us that the entertainments, enticements, and other distractions are not worthy of worship. (Psalm 84:2) El Roi, The God Who Sees, encourages us with God’s mercy, grace, and comfort. We are not invisible to him. (Genesis 16:13) Jehovah-Jireh, The Lord our Provider, tells us God is our provider, and it is the same Hebrew word as Moriah, the region where God sent Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. God may ask us to give something up, and he gives us himself in return, and becomes all we need. (Romans 8:32) Jehovah-Nissi, The Lord Our Banner, paints the picture that we live under God’s banner. It was the name revealed when Moses erected an altar to commemorate the defeat of their enemies. It encourages us that we live under God’s victory. He goes before us and comes behind us to make us victors in life’s battles. (Exodus 17:15) The Lord Our Healer, or Jehovah-Rapha, encourages us because God heals our hearts in the here and now. (Exodus 15:26) The Lord is Peace, Jehovah-Shalom, our security, sufficiency, and serenity. (Judges 6:24) Jehovah-Tsuri, the Lord our Rock, helps us remember God is permanent, faithful, protective, a firm foundation, a hiding place and shelter. (Psalm 18:2) Knowing the names of God gives us insight into his character, which encourages us when we face different situations where we need to rely on a different aspect of God’s character. For example, if someone feels discouraged because of life’s chaos, remembering God is Jehovah Shalom encourages their heart because God is their serenity. God is a covenant making and covenant keeping God. The primary promise of the covenant is the Lord’s promise to “be God to you and to your offspring after you.” The goal of God’s covenant with humankind is to bring salvation, not just to one nation, but to the entire human race. This covenant was eventually fulfilled through Jesus Christ as his followers began to spread the good news about him throughout the world. God made a covenant with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the Israelite nation, David, and finally the whole world through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Covenants, or promises, are conditional because they are based on the agreements of two parties. God cannot go back on his promises, but we can refuse the comfort of the promises when we fail to take God at his word and allow doubt to lead us to sin. Because of God’s covenants, we have promises like the promise of his presence. Isaiah 41:10 says, “Do not be afraid for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” (NLT) Deuteronomy 31:8, “‘Do not be afraid of discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.” (NLT) Isaiah 43:2, “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. Joshua 1:19, “This is my command – be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Those are wonderful reminders of God presence. I know I’ve needed to believe them by faith because sometimes what I see, and what I feel don’t match up with what I know to be true. I also cling to the promise of Victory found in: John 16:33, “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” Exodus 14:14, “The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, “Each time he said, ‘My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.’ So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, persecutions, and troubles I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” Isaiah 40:29, “He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.” God promises to guide us: Psalm 32:8, “The Lord says, I will guide along the best pathway for your life. I will advise and watch over you. Psalm 37:23-24, “The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand. Psalm 23:1-2, ‘The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. Not only does God promise us his presence, victory, and guidance, but he also promises rest, life, peace, and forgiveness: Rest: Matthew 11:28-29, “Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Life: John 3:16, “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” Peace: Isaiah 26:3, ‘You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you.” Forgiveness: 1 John 1:9, “But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleans us from all wickedness.” Our faith grows when we plant our feet on God’s promises. (Psalm 34:18) He is close to the broken hearted and rescues those who are crushed in spirit. (2 Cor. 4:8-9) We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. (Isaiah 54:17) “No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And you will condemn every tongue that accuses you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD. I think it starts with looking at the end of Hebrews 11, knowing the stories of those who have gone before us, remembering the past so we can encourage ourselves in the present and build hope for the future. Hebrews 11 opens with this verse: Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. The next several verses list people who lived by faith and received what God promised and those who died without receiving things promised and yet, they are commended for having faith. It’s faith in the promise maker which matters. Looking at our circumstances for “proof” of God keeping his promises leads to disappointment. Remember, faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. Sometimes, we need to cling to other’s people’s stories when our stories are littered with doubt and disappointment. One story which encourages me when I am feeling discouraged is Mary, Martha and Lazarus when Lazarus became ill and died. That story reminds me that things are not always as they seem, but God always has a plan and he sees the end from the beginning. he bible is full of encouragement and doesn’t sugarcoat the difficulties people of faith faced. If Job can lose his entire fortune, family and health and still remain faithful to God—believing him to faithful and true—then I can look beyond my circumstances and see that God is bigger than what’s right in front of me. I can take the magnifying glass off of the things in my life that discourage me and point my magnifying glass to the God who breathes stars and breath in my lungs. I am encouraged by Abraham, when he looked the impossibility of his reality (too old to have children) and yet remained believing that God would fulfill his promise. I’ve been in situations where I couldn’t see a way forward and following Abraham’s example encourages me so much. Knowing God intimately is a great first step toward experiencing biblical encouragement. Understanding his heart and loyalty toward us is key. Second, we can remember to look beyond what we see to what we know to be true. Sometimes feelings follow an act of faith. Take Hebrews 11 to heart.

Barry Wolfe argues that workplace psychology tools like personality tests and assessments lack scientific validity and don't predict job performance. Instead of relying on psychological profiles, leaders should focus on "value-centric actions" - clearly defining what results employees need to deliver to create business value and advance their careers. TAKEAWAYS Psychology tools are unreliable - Personality tests, competency models, and even Maslow's hierarchy lack empirical support, with IQ predicting job performance at only 0.03 correlation Employees lack clarity - 55% of workers don't know what's expected of them, and most can't answer "What do I need to do to get a raise?"

Episode DescriptionIn this episode of the Lead Ministry Podcast, Josh Denhart and Bill Van Kirk break down a simple, powerful retention lever: align volunteers with their giftedness. They explore how “ability + willingness” fuels longevity and how a SHAPE conversation helps leaders seat the right people in the right roles for healthy teams. If you've ever felt stuck replacing the same volunteers month after month, this episode will equip and inspire you with a practical path to keep the “good ones” God has already provided.Key Topics CoveredDefining giftedness vs. general ability – why the difference matters for retentionJim Collins' “right people, right seats” applied to church teamsThe SHAPE conversation: Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, Experiences—how to run it this monthKey Quote“Wrong seat doesn't mean wrong person—shift the seat, not the bus.” Scripture References1 Corinthians 12:4–7 – “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit… To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.”Romans 12:6 – “Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them…”TakeawayRetention starts with alignment. When leaders intentionally discover gifts and place people accordingly, willingness rises, joy increases, and ministries stabilize. Use SHAPE to learn a volunteer's design, then move them to a role where they'll thrive—and stay.Call to ActionWe hope this episode encourages and equips you.

But on a deeper level, research shows us over & over that emotional skills are thee foundation to human happiness & success. There is no such thing as a solely logical person. Emotions are what make us human, and we must learn how to interact with them, not because we're whiny or soft, but because emotions drive humanity.

S11E1 - A coffee-shop unraveling leads to loosening my grip on type—and why “Hello, Personality” is still a greeting to access your deeper self. In this episode, I share the moment I said out loud, “I'm not sure my type is right,” and the slow untying that followed—weeks of walks, kitchen-table talks, and noticing how tightly I'd been managing my identity. You'll hear where I am now with personality systems, why I kept the name Hello, Personality, and how I'm shifting authority from external labels back to head–heart–body wisdom and embodied spirituality that meets you where you are.If you've ever clung to a label, role, or reputation, this episode invites you to loosen the grip and listen for what's true now.

Wie können wir lernen, der Realität ins Auge zu blicken und warum fällt es uns häufig so schwer? Was können wir tun, wenn uns eine Situation unzufrieden macht? Und wie vermeiden wir zu resignieren? Lebensbereiche, in denen wir unzufrieden sind oder Unarten anderer, die uns wütend machen, rauben uns Energie. Doch wenn wir das Schwierige anerkennen und ihm mit Achtsamkeit und Mitgefühl gegenübertreten, lassen wir die negative Energie los und können sie nutzen, um die Situation zu ändern. Boris und Sinja besprechen in dieser Wiederholungs-Folge, weshalb das Annehmen der Realität die Grundlage für Veränderung ist. Sie untersuchen, in welchen Lebensbereichen es besonders wichtig ist, sich in Akzeptanz zu üben und welche Methoden wir dafür anwenden können.Umfrage: Wie gefällt dir Verstehen, fühlen, glücklich sein?

The goal of Christianity is Christlikeness. Spiritual growth is the fruit of our faith; evidence that we are connected to the vine. In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany revisit a past series with Jeff and Jen to explore the Holy Spirit's role in salvation, sanctification, and equipping believers for ministry.They explain the indwelling presence of the Spirit, how He reproduces the character of Christ in us, why He is essential to understanding Scripture, and how He empowers every Christian with spiritual gifts to serve the church.What We Discussed00:17 – Introduction and RecapTiffany introduces the theme of spiritual growth, reminding us that it happens in partnership with the Holy Spirit, who empowers believers to live out God's truth.01:24 – The Indwelling Spirit Pastor Jeff explains the many-faceted work of the Spirit: giving new life, assuring salvation, sealing believers for eternity (Ephesians 1:13–14), and comforting us in trials.07:55 – The Spirit Teaches Us ScriptureThe Holy Spirit illuminates God's Word, teaching and reminding us of truth (John 14:26; 1 Corinthians 2:10). Pastor Jeff emphasizes asking the Spirit for understanding when we encounter difficult passages.11:00 – Equipped for MinistryBelievers receive spiritual gifts to serve others (1 Peter 4:10). Jeff explains the S.H.A.P.E. acrostic: Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, and Experience—all used by the Spirit for God's purposes.15:08 – What Spiritual Gifts Are NotJeff clarifies common misunderstandings: gifts are not about specific offices, age groups, or techniques. Instead, they are Spirit-given abilities exercised through our unique lives.17:53 – The Spirit as Our EnablerTrue ministry is Spirit-powered. We act in obedience, but the results belong to Him. Like a doctor who treats but cannot heal, only God brings transformation and life.19:40 – Dependence on the SpiritPastor Jeff and Jen remind us that daily dependence on the Spirit is vital. He empowers, guides, and sustains us through change and growth, making us effective in ministry.Key Quote“With the indwelling Holy Spirit, we are never alone, never lost, and never without His power.” – Pastor Jeff CranstonWe love your feedback!

Clark and Matt decided to share a special episode from our sister cast, YOU OUGHTA KNOW: THE MOTIVATION SERIES. In this special episode, Matt is joined by the co-developer of Self-Determination Theory (SDT), Richard M. Ryan, to talk about all things motivation. Think of it as a primer on SDT. We hit the basics… What is motivation? What is SDT?‎ ‎What are the origins of SDT?‎ ‎The different types of motivation.‎ ‎Rewards and their impact on one's motivation.‎ ‎Of course, the famous three basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness).‎ ‎We discuss strategies one may take to either create environments to meet others' needs or to do it for oneself.‎ ‎What is well-being? How is well-being related to motivation?‎ ‎Is SDT universal? Is it culturally descriptive in all cases?‎ ‎And more! During our discussion on mindfulness, Rich refers to a recently published meta-analysis.  The reference is: Donald, James N., Helena Nguyen, James H. Conigrave, Anya Johnson, Inmaculada Adarves-Yorno, Ryan Cheng, Anya Bedi, Kevin B. Lowe, Jessica L. Lyons, Emma K. Devine, Georg B. Tamm and Richard M.

British Journal of Management, 11111. https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-8551.70009  Matt refers to a 1999 meta-analysis on the impact of rewards. That reference is: Deci, E. L., Koestner, R., & Ryan, R. M. (1999). A meta-analytic review of experiments examining the effects of extrinsic rewards on intrinsic motivation.

Do you massively over-estimate how much you can accomplish in any period of time? Do you struggle to work out how long it's going to take you to complete a particular project? Friend, same. Don't worry, though, because there are some well-recognised psychological reasons for that, and plenty of advice too. There's just one problem: when it comes to projects that are linked to your sense of self-worth, time management is even trickier, and the usual strategies might not cut it. Luckily for you, your imperfect buddy is here to throw you a lifeline.Here's a helpful article with some tips about how to get better at planning your time.References:Buehler, R., Griffin, D., and Ross, M. 1994: 'Exploring the "Planning Fallacy": Why People Underestimate Their Task Completion Times', Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 67/3: 366-381.Kahneman, D. and Tversky, A. 1977: 'Intuitive Prediction: Biases and CorrectiveProcedures', Technical Report PTR-1042-7746, Defense Advanced Research ProjectsAgency - Advanced Decision Technology, Decision Research, Eugene, OR.
