Podcast Summary
Understanding motivation and its triggers: Identify dopamine-releasing triggers to start and sustain productivity, overcome procrastination and stress.
Motivation comes from both our purpose and the release of dopamine in our brains. To master motivation, we need to understand that motivation gets us started, but clarity and discipline keep us going. By identifying the triggers that release dopamine quickly and consistently, we can create systems of productivity and build momentum. These dopamine-releasing triggers, or anchors, can help us overcome procrastination and stress by activating our nervous system and releasing dopamine in as little as five seconds. By intentionally implementing these anchors into our lives, we can create a contagious momentum towards achieving our goals.
