358: This Hack Could Change Your Life

We all have those little tasks that we say we’ll do later, but what if there were a simple way to finally get them done? In this episode, we’re breaking down the idea of a “dreadsprint,” a simple way to batch those annoying, lingering tasks and finally get them off your mental list. We’re talking about why these unfinished tasks can take up so much mental energy, how we each approach them very differently, and how you can create a system that actually works for your personality. If you’ve got a list of things you’ve been avoiding, this might be the motivation you need to knock them out. Key Topics Covered The difference between a dreadsprint and a typical to-do list Finding the right approach based on your personality and tendencies Using batching, timers, and small rewards to make dreaded tasks easier Why completing a task fully can help close the loop in your brain Making your own health, appointments, and responsibilities a priority LINKS AND RESOURCES: BETTERHELP: 10% off first month at: http://betterhelp.com/herself Patreon Book Club: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcast Listen to episode 337: Do You Actually Want to Change?
