In this episode, you'll learn: Why you keep falling back into old patterns (and the weird brain science behind breaking free) The real reason most people fail when trying to change themselves How to tell if your personality traits are helping you grow or just keeping you safe and stuck    What if everything you believe about your personality is just an elaborate story you've been telling yourself? You know where these stories come from, right? That voice in your head. You know the one. It's got you totally convinced about who you are. "I'm just not good with money." "I'll always be anxious." "This is just my personality." But here's the thing about personalities. They're not set in stone. They're more like stories we tell ourselves over and over until we believe them. And trust me, our brains are really good at finding evidence to support whatever story we're telling. Think about it. Every time you react to something, your brain is basically taking notes. "Oh, this is how we handle stress. Got it. Filing that away for next time." Before you know it, you've got these deep grooves in your brain. Like a record that keeps playing the same song because that's where the needle naturally falls. Here's where it gets good though. Science is showing us something pretty wild: these grooves in our brain? They're not permanent. Every single experience you have is literally rewiring your brain. Creating new pathways. New possibilities. Today our guest is Olga Khazan, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of "Me, But Better." She's done the research, run the experiments, and found out what it really takes to change who you are. Not just on the surface, but at your core.

What does it take to completely shift your mindset and unlock the next level of personal and professional success? In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Dr. Benjamin Hardy — renowned organizational psychologist and best-selling author of Willpower Doesn't Work and Personality Isn't Permanent — to explore how to break free from self-imposed limitations and intentionally design a future of limitless potential. Here's what you'll take away: How changing the way you see your personality and future goals can break you free from limiting beliefs that are holding you back Why emotional growth is the key to handling stress and turning challenges into opportunities The power of strategic ignorance and surrounding yourself with the right people to sharpen your focus and eliminate distractions True transformation happens when you take control of your story — shaping your future to match your ambitions rather than letting circumstances define you. It's not just about seeing things differently; it's about rewriting how you interpret your past and setting the stage for the future you want. When you elevate your narrative, you shift from being reactive to becoming the driving force behind real change, opening doors to opportunities that align with your highest potential. ---- Show Notes:  00:00 – Introduction 01:07 – How and Why People Change Over Time 02:34 – Breaking Free from Self-Limiting Beliefs 05:31 – The Science Behind Personality Transformation 09:43 – The Role of Goals in Shaping Identity 14:43 – Overcoming Trauma and Rewriting Your Narrative 21:03 – Strategic Ignorance: Protecting Your Mental Space 29:40 – The Power of Environment in Driving Success 39:16 – What It Means to Be a Game Changer ---- Links & Resources: Personality Isn't Permanent by Ben Hardy The Harvard Grant Study Daniel Gilbert Andre Norman Teleology and Philosophy Prospection Harvard University Charlie Trotter Oprah Winfrey Ernest Hemingway Dan Sullivan Ellen Langer Adam Grant Willpower Doesn't Work by Ben Hardy ---- Listening to this episode but want to watch it?

Today for Think Thursday we're talking about mindset. We're focusing specifically on reframing our past with a gain mindset. Molly Watts discusses the importance of mindset in driving behavior and outcomes, emphasizing the shift from a "gap" to a "gain" perspective. She references Dr. Benjamin Hardy's book "Personality Isn't Permanent" and Dr. Dan Sullivan's concept of "The Gap and The Gain." The gap focuses on what's missing, leading to dissatisfaction, while the gain celebrates progress, fostering momentum and resilience. Watts also introduces Dr. Dan McAdams' narrative identity, which suggests our past, present, and future are interconnected and evolving. She shares her personal story of reframing her mother's alcohol dependence to empower her own journey, encouraging listeners to reframe their past experiences to foster growth and positive change.Action Items[ ] Choose one story or experience from your past that you would like to view differently.[ ] Ask yourself what you gained from that experience and how your future self would view it.[ ] Start a "gain journal" to track your progress and small wins.[ ] Periodically revisit and rewrite the story you've reframed to reinforce your growth.Mindset and Its Impact on LifeMolly Watts introduces the concept of Think Thursday, focusing on neuroscience, brain health, and mindset.She emphasizes the importance of mindset in determining how we feel, act, and the results we achieve in life.Molly mentions the positive feedback she has received from listeners and expresses her excitement about the topic.The episode will cover powerful mindset shifts, primarily from the book "Personality Isn't Permanent" by Dr. Benjamin Hardy.Introduction to "The Gap and The Gain"Molly introduces Dr. Dan Sullivan's concept of "The Gap and The Gain" to describe different ways of measuring progress.The "Gap" focuses on what is missing and how far one is from an ideal, leading to dissatisfaction.The "Gain" perspective involves measuring progress from where one started, appreciating the journey and recognizing growth.Molly explains how shifting from the "Gap" to the "Gain" can lead to a sense of accomplishment and momentum.The Importance of Acknowledging Small WinsMolly discusses the significance of acknowledging small wins and how they contribute to big changes.She explains that focusing on progress, even incremental, can empower and motivate one to take the next step.Molly emphasizes that the sense of happiness comes from how we view our progress and experiences, not from achieving perfection.Living in the "Gain" helps build psychological momentum and motivation to keep moving forward.Narrative Identity and Reframing Past ExperiencesMolly introduces Dr. Dan McAdams' concept of narrative identity, which involves the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of our lives.She explains that our narrative identity integrates our past, present, and future into a coherent story that shapes our sense of self.Molly highlights that our narrative identity is not fixed and can be reinterpreted to empower ourselves.Reframing past experiences in a positive light can help us grow and empower ourselves.Personal Story of Reframing Past ExperiencesMolly shares her personal story of reframing her relationship with alcohol, particularly her mother's alcohol dependence.She initially felt jealous and envious of other women with close relationships with their mothers.By understanding her mother's struggles and reinterpreting her past, Molly gained resilience and determination.This mindset shift allowed her to take control of her life and help others change their relationships with alcohol.Practical Steps to Apply the Gain MindsetMolly provides practical steps to apply the gain mindset in everyday life.Step 1: Choose one story and identify a specific past experience viewed as a setback or limitation.Step 2: Ask what was gained from this experience, focusing on any positives or lessons learned.Step 3: Imagine future self and how they would view past experiences as steps to growth.Step 4: Keep a gain journal to track daily moments of growth, positive choices, or small wins.Step 5: Revisit and rewrite the narrative periodically to reinforce growth and empowerment.Conclusion and ChallengeMolly concludes by emphasizing that the gain mindset is about creating a sustainable shift in how we view our lives.She encourages listeners to take one story and apply the gain mindset, asking themselves what they learned and how it shaped them.Molly invites listeners to email her with ideas for future Think Thursday episodes.She reminds listeners that they are the ones writing their story and encourages them to focus on the gain, celebrate progress, and embrace the person they are becoming. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode I tackle the dark side of meaning making. As humans we instinctively assign meaning to events or experiences we go through. Some of the info I draw from comes from Dr. Benjamin Hardy's book Personality Isn't Permanent. In the book he says "we can generate a premature cognitive commitment about ourselves" this cognitive commitment can be based on mistaken or misinformed meaning of things. Meaning that begins or helps to shape our self-image and how we see the world. Creating meaning is fundamental to who we are and who we become. As Brene Brown says, "we are meaning makers!" I also reference the Same Love by Macklemore & Ryan. How trauma leads to attaching meaning about ourselves is discussed as well. For more about me visit my website www.ryanwynder.com.

"Break Free from Self-Limiting Beliefs and Rewrite Your Story"

Episode Summary: In another invigorating session of the Lead Ministry Podcast, hosts Josh Denhart and Bill Van Kirk dive deep into the concept of cultivating a growth mindset within the realm of ministry leadership. The conversation challenges the notion that personal and professional limitations are fixed, exploring the transformative potential of embracing change and growth in one's life and work. Within the episode, the dialogue pivots from defining a rigid versus a dynamic way of thinking, to actionable steps leaders can take to move past stagnant waters. The hosts discuss critical strategies such as falling in love with the process rather than the endpoint, planning for failure, and measuring personal progress in realistic increments. Key insights are drawn from recognized resources, and personal anecdotes emphasize the practicality of the discussed concepts. Key Takeaways: Embracing the growth mindset means understanding that personal change and improvement are always obtainable, as opposed to having a fixed mindset. Transition from trying to train, affirming the power of committing to small, incremental steps toward a goal. Recognize and transform self-limiting beliefs by aligning your actions with the identity of the person you aim to become. Celebrate daily wins and progress, however small, to maintain motivation and acknowledge growth. Facing and planning for inevitable failures is a critical component of cultivating a resilient growth mindset. Notable Quotes: "If you argue for your limitations, you keep them. But if you agree with God about your potential, you grow into it." - Bill Van Kirk "You have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable." - Bill Van Kirk "Every day that you're not 19 pounds less, you believe in your mind that you're losing… You don't have to wait until you lost 19 pounds to win. You win every single day." - Bill Van Kirk "Identify the identity. So a lot of times the actions that you're taking day to day are based on an identity that you've created." - Bill Van Kirk "Our ability to change and grow is always more than we think it is." - Bill Van Kirk Resources: Book Recommendation: "Personality Isn't Permanent" by Benjamin Hardy.

We're talking about how the impossible goal is actually easily and more attainable than the possible goal. Why doubling your income in a year, for instance, can be easier than increasing it by 5 or 10%. This is not some motivational hype, and to prove the point I have with me, Dr Benjamin Hardy. This is the fourth time I've had Ben on the show, first with his book Willpower Doesn't Work which is one of my top shelf go to books you've heard me reference many times. Then his book, Personality Isn't Permanent which is another Hallmark book for me. However, it was in a show about what drives Ben that I heard his personal story, which became the lead off story in my new book, What Drives You. Ben is just a brilliant mind. His blog is read by millions every month and he is just a master and distilling out paradigm shifting concepts that radically change our lives. Lately he's also been co authoring books with renowned business coach, Dan Sullivan. Their latest is called 10x is easier than 2x: How World-Class Entrepreneurs Achieve More By Doing Less.

In the latest episode of "I Am Nineveh," Nineveh discusses the topic of personal development and shares her insights on the concept that personality is not a permanent trait. She attributes her newfound knowledge to the book, "Personality Isn't Permanent," which she read recently. Nineveh elaborates on how people tend to associate their identity with their profession, which can result in an identity crisis when they move on from that role. She uses her own experiences to illustrate the importance of personal growth and self-discovery, citing how she has chosen to switch careers every decade, and how each experience has contributed to the bigger picture of her life. Furthermore, Nineveh notes how many people get stuck in the past and use it as a reference point for decision-making, which can limit their potential for change. Instead, she advises listeners to focus on their future selves, create a vision of who they want to become, and take action to make it a reality. She urges them to write down their goals and aspirations for their future selves and to actively work towards becoming that person. Lastly, she encourages her audience to stop seeking approval or permission from their past selves and to focus on moving forward toward their desired future... --- HIGHLIGHTS: Hanging one's identity on a job or career can lead to an identity crisis when that role is no longer available. Focusing on the future self is key to creating a desired future, rather than being stuck in the past. Memories and social media can encourage living in the past, so it is important to disconnect and focus on creating the future. Defining the future self by writing out goals and aspirations is crucial to achieving one's dreams. Being obedient and submissive to the future self is essential to overcoming obstacles and achieving one's goals. Declaring a new version of oneself and walking with that future self daily is a powerful way to create change. Stop asking permission from one's past self and start going for what one's future self wants. --- SOCIAL MEDIA: Follow Nineveh on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ninevehmadsen/ Follow Nineveh on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiB5a2zWKIEtHpFVNQd7Dkg Check out the SupraHuman website: https://suprahuman.com --- TIME STAMPS: 00:00 - Prelude 00:58 -  Welcome to I am Nineveh 02:04 - Addressing haters right away to shut them down 03:13 - Book: Personality isn't permanent. 04:21 - Why being me is good enough 06:44 - The importance of having financial independence and being able to live on one's own terms 07:44 - The Myers-Briggs test and its four options 9:05 - An internship at a local television station in Oakland 09:43 - The beginning of her career in broadcast news 11:20 - The importance of future-paced mentorship 11:56 - Acting in accordance with the future self 12:17 - The Myers Briggs test and its meaning 14:05 - How to move from past selves to future selves 14:46 - Most people are stuck in the past 16:01 - The problem with operating from past memories 17:45 - How social media is filled with past memories 18:15 - When you engage with the past, and you engage your five senses, it creates emotion 19:51 - Become your future self 21:23 - Discovering her real voice and how to sound authoritative 22:02 - What it tastes like to be your future self 24:00 - Define your future selves 24:17 - Focus on today and tomorrow instead of the future 25:36 - Having a daughter through IVF 26:43 - Nineveh realizes oversharing their past story when asked about having another child and decides to change their response  28:54 - Never ask past for permission 29:34 - Your past self will always stop you 29:59 - The woman you want to be five years from now 32:13 - Define what you want most by writing out your future self 34:38 - OUTRO 35:21 - END    ✨

Friends, when I first started writing my new book, What Drives You, I sat down with some influential people to get their stories. I wanted to know what took them from, wherever they started, to realize the significant achievements that landed them on my show. ⁣ ⁣ Dr Benjamin Hardy is a favorite guest of mine, he's a prolific writer of best-selling non-fiction in the self-help space because he's a great writer, of great research. His books, Willpower Doesn't Work and Personality Isn't Permanent are foundational messages I come back to time and time again. ⁣ ⁣ Not long after I signed my book deal, I had Ben on my podcast, which was called The Ziglar Show at the time. He had shared a tidbit of personal story that grabbed my attention...so I brought him on to dig in. What he shared violated much of what I'd previously thought about drive and was a great depiction of what I'd learned and was writing in my book. ⁣ ⁣ Ultimately the story here is what I used as the lead off story in chapter one of my new book, What Drives You, which is just now coming out. Ben's story is an incredible depiction of a primary myth I bust, of some people being driven and some people not. Even some having more drive than others. It's just not true. Listen in to hear more. ⁣ ⁣ June 15-16 of 2023 I'll be in Dallas to attend and speak at the Ziglar coach summit. If you are looking to influence people for the better, professionally or personally, I invite you to join us. First 10 people who register and say you heard about it from me, I'm taking to dinner!

I hope you're finding a gentle landing spot int this new year. Longtime blog readers may recall my “weeks in review” turned “months in review” turned "season in review" over the years. And, of course, there's the annual Year in Review. This reflection exercise allows me to stay accountable, set and review goals, celebrate, and note what needs adjustment. Below is a list of my year's experiences. After the top 10, they're in no particular order. There's also a brief reflection and resources to support us moving into the new year. To compile this information I reviewed my Daybook, monthly dreams, birthday exercise (here's mine from 2021), goodreads app, ballet class platforms, and photos. Needless to say, it's a process! Consider your own 2022 list. Look for patterns, wins, challenges, boundaries, and those sweet moments in between. Although this year may have been challenging, you may just rediscover some gems when you compile your own Year in Review. Oh, and here's an Instagram reel with heaps of photos from 2022. Year's Experiences Top 10 Got a new hip Hosted 30+ Coterie events including an in-person tea party Renovated the Pink Palace (my 600-sqare-foot home) Won 2nd place for Lilac Fairy in the International Adult Ballet Festival's Beginner Solo Category [Instagram reel mentioned in the podcast] Hosted Hip Tranquil Chick's 16th birthday (so. much. fun.)

What Worked Well for Me in 2022? Hosting the Coterie, being off Facebook (video with tips forthcoming), trimming my offerings, full therapy practice, a bit of travel, love my office space, charity donations, home renovation, virtual private ballet sessions and group classes, new hip, memoir efforts. What Didn't Work for Me in 2022? Lack of mobility for two months, poor eating habits at times, not enough reading, challenges managing physical pain, not completing online courses, didn't create as much content as I wanted to, didn't complete memoir book proposal. What Did I Learn About Myself Last Year? I can handle a lot of discomfort (hip), I can win an award at a ballet competition, how much I love ballet (and struggle), how grateful I am for my tiny pink home and office, I made many more in person connections. How Did My Goals for 2022 Unfold? I achieved more than half of the Year's Dreams list in my Daybook such as releasing 25 podcasts, getting a new hip, nurturing the Coterie, adding video to my podcast interviews and created more Tea with Kimberly's, streamlining my website (thanks Mara!), setting up solid business bookkeeping, giving a proud performance of Lilac Fairy, remodeling chez moi, and taking trips to Paris. A few that I didn't meet and are still on my radar: read 48 books, complete my memoir proposal, solid pirouettes at the barre and in the center, daily salad, create e-courses. My 2023 Year's Dreams: get memoir proposal to my agent, healthy pugs, host 600th podcast event (save the date: February 20), send two monthly love notes (sign up here), release two monthly podcasts, increase color on my plate and eat more veggies/whole foods (less sugar—my life's struggle), carve out more family time, learn and perform Prelude from Les Sylphides at the International Adult Ballet Festival, celebrate my 50th birthday in a meaningful way, get back onto pointe, nurture my Coterie loves, incorporate more play and relaxation time (ongoing challenge), create a few micro-courses (any requests?), finish a few e-courses I've signed up for, donate to support orangutans, pigs, and pugs, create AM writing time, design spring #balletcore TDJ clothing collection, declutter. A Few of My Favorite Reads: The Idea of You by Robinne Lee, Personality Isn't Permanent by Benjamin Hardy, Free Time by Jenny Blake, Toxic Positivity by Whitney Goodman A Few of My Favorite Shows: White Lotus, Emily in Paris, Fleishman is in Trouble, The Patient A Few of My Favorite Songs: All things Harry Styles especially Falling and Sign of the Times Overall 2022 was a solid year. Ballet continued to be a dominate presence as did my therapy practice, the Coterie, and pug caregiving. I see this continuing into the new year and hope to make more space to write in my journal, create content for you, sip tea with friends, cuddle pugs, and read fireside {or by candlelight}. I'm still finalizing my word/theme for 2023 and feel it bubbling up inside. What about you? May 2023 be filled with time and space for what matters most to you!

We are talking about your future self. Who are you becoming? Who do you want to become? And the question is, can you conceptualize and connect with that person right now, and from this connection, drastically accelerate your personal growth and success? I'm with Dr Benjamin Hardy, who you hear me refer to often. His first book, Willpower Doesn't Work, is at the top of my book referral list. His second book, “Personality Isn't Permanent” is up there too. His recent book with Dan Sullivan, The Gap And The Gain, is a runaway best seller. His books have sold hundreds of thousands of copies, and his blogs have been read by hundreds of millions. Ben is also the intro story in my forthcoming book which you'll see…sometime in 2023. This is my third time having Ben on the show, and the occasion is his brand new book, Be Your Future Self Now: The Science of Intentional Transformation. When I talked to him about a year ago he shared his research and piqued my interest with the “End of history illusion”, which we start this episode off talking about, and I think you'll want to hear about it. As we talked in this episode, what intrigued me as much or more than just trying to become your future self now, was Ben's concept of how powerful it is for our progress and ultimate success if we'll connect with our future self. This is something we do pretty well as kids, but after entering into adulthood, we basically lose any perspective on who we are expecting to become. And we so often lose our way. Ben is an organizational psychologist and has devoted significant research to the issue and become a leading expert on the application of the Future Self science. Ben's new book, Be Your Future Self Now, can be found everywhere, and check this out, if you'll go to futureself.com/free, those of you in America can get free Kindle codes and get the book…free! No catch. He just bought a ton of codes and offered them to me to share with you. You can connect with him at benjaminhardy.com.

Our brains our a conglomerate of if/then statements, like in computer code, and oftentimes new lines of code are hard to write in our mind when we're trying new things, for example if I want to play basketball, then I need to learn to shoot. Sitting down and coding that particular if then statement could take years of dedication, but when we do sit down and create new then statements for a complicated if, it feels freaking amazing. This podcast is your weekly motivation, and mine, to get uncomfortable and write some neurological code. “It's easier to hold to your principles 100% of the time, then it is to hold to them 98% of the time.” — Clayton Christensen When I was thinking of creating a podcast, I had no time. It was everything I could do to keep up with everything else in my life already: 2 Youtube channels, house renovations, a free range chicken farm, friends and family. Everything was already falling apart as it was, and adding another full time obsession I would inevitably burnout on was, in a sick way, hilarious. How could I write even MORE if then statements in a day when my brain was already burning up from the complicated programs I was currently running. But I felt like I had a good idea for a podcast, and I just had to try to balance everything. I had to find a way. See, even though I always felt busy, like I was working all the time, I never felt like I worked enough, cause I was eternally behind, and so I never felt I deserved to take a true break. The weird thing though and honestly the problem, was that I was taking breaks, lots of them—hundreds of micro breaks a day with every app opened, every notification clicked, oh that's a funny reel, ehh…what's this next one? Time just kept ticking, and projects just kept piling on and on. Now I would get everything done……. mostly, I mean I was playing the Dope Game from episode 2 after all, so I was getting pretty good at focusing doing projects at random times, but I had no structure to my work life and so I would inevitably be on my phone when I knew I should probably be working *notification sound* Oh, by the way I got the Wordle in 3 today, I wonder how people on Twitter faired. I needed to plan my day somehow with the reality that I'm a human being in the 21st century and I'm going to look at my phone 3 hours per day one way or the other. Months ago, during one of these micro breaks, a video popped up. It was of Kobe Bryant giving a TED Talk in Shanghai, talking about his absurd work schedule. He sucked the air out of the room when he said the insane: {Kobe Bryant clip https://youtu.be/9_tYXFbgjZk?t=841  14:03-15:16} Quote “So if your job is to try to be the best basketball player you can be, to do that you have to practice, you have to train, right? You want to train as much as you can, as often as you can. So if you get up at 10 in the morning. Train at 11. 12? Say 12? Train at 12. Train for 2 hours—12 to 2. You have to let your body recover, so you eat, recover, whatever. You get back out. You start training at 6. Train from 6 to 8, right? And now you go home; you shower; you eat dinner; you go to bed; you wake up; you do it again, right? Those are two sessions. Now imagine you wake up at 3:00 you train at 4:00. So 4 to 6. Come home. Breakfast, relax, da da da. Now you're back at it again. 9 to 11. right? Relax and now you're back at it again 2 to 4. Now you're back at it again. 7 to 9. Look how much more training I have done by simply starting at 4? So it makes sense to get up and start your day early because you can get more work in.” Unquote I felt I already woke up pretty early, between 5 and 6, but I definitely didn't start work until later than that. But 4? Like, come on. Initially, I was just intrigued by his idea of how to split a day up between focused work and focused recovery. When I was thinking of starting my podcast, adding another obsession to my plate, his plan for life came back to mind, and this time maybe starting work earlier was what I needed to make this podcast thing work. Maybe that was the key. Maybe 4:00 was doable, at least for weeks I had a heavy work load. I knew my phone use was a weakness of mine, though. So I didn't want to just start work at 4 without a proper plan going in. If, realistically, 3 hours of screen time was inevitable, could I use that to my advantage somehow? I asked myself a question that changed everything: Which is better, deciding to 100% commit to mindlessly scrolling on my phone for an exact 3 hour slot of time and then the rest of the day 100% commit to projects while fasting from my phone, OR an entire day only 2% committed to scrolling on my phone, while always 98% committed to projects—the same 3 hours of screen time is spent but, this time, interspersed throughout the day? In Dr. Benjamin Hardy's book, “Personality Isn't Permanent,” he answered my question by saying quote “When you're only 98% committed to something, then you haven't truly decided. As a result, you're required to continue making decisions in every future situation you're in. Weighing, in every instance, whether this particular situation falls into the 2% of exceptions you've allowed yourself. In every situation you're in, you're not actually sure what the outcome will be in terms of your behavior and decision making. This lack of decision leads to identity confusion and a lack of success. Becoming 100% committed to what you want is how you succeed. Making serious and sometimes hard decisions rather than deferring them for bad situations leads to enhanced confidence and progress.” Unquote 5:35 In other words, a life 98% committed leads to what he calls “decision fatigue,” and maybe this was my problem the entire time. I thought about it, and if I'm only 98% committed to work like I had been, the computer of my brain will bog down quickly with decisions. Every piece of laundry folded, could lead to a decision. Now is it ok to find a new YouTube video to watch? This video seems cool. Wait, what's this other one? Every single time I feel the need for a dopamine hit, another decision needs to be made. Does this time fall into the 2% of exceptions? Is this time ok to get on Instagram? By not deciding to 100% commit to phone time or 100% to work time, I'm leaving my brain having to decide literally every minute if this is the time it's ok to watch some reels. It was like my brain was hacked with windows constantly popping up. (Typing) Every time I would start to get into a rhythm of work—“click here to accept your prize!” Hhh… close. (click) Alright, where was I? (typing) “Don't miss out on your prize!”  Grr… close. (click) (typing) “This is your last chance for the prize!” How could I ever get anything done when half my time was spent closing these annoying pop ups? And then…what happens if I decide to accept the “prize.” What happens then? Welcome to the age of the smart phone. By Kobe Bryant 100% committing to focused work for 2 hours, 4 times a day. And then, 4 times a day, 100% committing to relaxation and recovery, mindlessly scrolling if he wanted to, he became one of the best basketball players in history. We both might be spending the same amount of hours on our phones, but the time's he's not on his, he's 100% focused on the job at hand, and that makes all the difference. So I decided to try it. After all, it seemed kind of fun to be able to guilt-free scroll through my phone for 3 hours if I wanted after working hard. But instead of waking at 3 though, I would wake up between 3:30 to 3:45, and hyper-focus on my podcast for 2 hours starting at 4am and then instead of taking a 3 hour break between sessions like Kobe, I would take a 2 hour break because I wasn't doing anything physically demanding. If I did happen to go over 2 hours though because I was in the middle of something with family, that was allowed. But I would stay on my 2 hour work schedule after that. What I realized is, 2 hours of intensely focused work, with no distractions, pushes you juuuust to the edge of frying your brain without actually ever hitting that point. Anything after 2 hours, however, and that's just plain risky. Your brain starts to short circuit. Things get amplified after that. Small problems you face start to feel like a potential nuclear war—threatening to blow up your entire mental state. Why did I even start this dumb podcast in the first place? Nothing is going to work like I want. I'm terrible at this. Why is it so hard for me? Even right now, writing this script, I have to walk away cause my brain is about to fry as I'm hitting 2 hours. Give me a little bit. Hang on. (Stand up, deep breathing) It's amazing what a strategic 2 hour break can do for a brain. It's the same feeling as when you go to sleep on a problem, and then after waking, you somehow have the solution at the forefront of your mind. Your brain figured it out for you by just resting—like a computer updating to the latest version while in sleep mode. But instead of one time, you're getting that phenomenon 4 times a day. 4 updates fixing bugs. That rest time is critical. You feel it. You're using it to your advantage and there's no guilt at all. Work and rest: it's a beautiful symbiotic relationship. Both equally important, both impossible without the other. I call this work schedule the 2:2 Method, and the cool thing I've realized now, after following it for a few weeks, is that instead of wanting to mindlessly scroll every rest time, I find myself often inspired to actually do things in those 2 hours that I had been putting off, that I felt I had no time for. I found myself painting the trim in the downstairs bedroom I've been meaning to finish, I was prioritizing my family more by going with them to the mall. I took my wife Sara out on a date, and even folded a bunch of laundry. That didn't take as much time as I thought. And one of the biggest things I noticed was that I wasn't burning out on my new passion for podcasting, like I was worried would happen. By forcing myself to slow down and rest, I found I could manage my effort better—instead of passionately sprinting with inspiration as my fuel until I quit from physical and mental exhaustion, I was walking freely, and even resting when I needed in order to make the long journey. And that's why I broke up If Then into seasons, to further manage my effort by resting. I wouldn't suggest waking at 3:30AM and only getting 6 hours of sleep as a longterm lifestyle choice. In my experience, that should be done only when necessary, but when implemented, it works. Season 1 has been the story of me getting uncomfortable and learning how to podcast—next week being the final episode. Season 2, date pending, will be its own complete story, just like this one, and the 2:2 Method will be, again, what makes it possible. In following the 2:2 Method, by 6:00PM I've worked extremely focused for 8 hours without feeling overwhelmed with exhaustion because I had also rested strategically for 6 hours as well. By 6 o'clock I can relax completely with my wife Sara, resting in the fact that I have accomplished so much. By 9PM I'm asleep, and I do it all over again the next day. Like Kobe Bryant, by committing to either 100% focused work or 100% rest, I'm finding I'm able to get more done with peace and ease than I could have ever imagined, and I'm curious how much more I can put on my plate and feel this exact same way. Time, in a way, almost feels limitless instead of limiting. So I'll leave you with this: “It's easier to hold to your principles 100% of the time, then it is to hold to them 98% of the time.” — Clayton Christensen Thank you so much for listening to the third episode of the If Then Podcast.
