Episode notes
Dopamine Powers Effort Process
- Every step in a journey isn't equally significant despite motivational sayings.
- Dopamine buffers effort, helping us stay motivated longer and enjoy the process itself.
Reward Hard Effort Moments
- Reward yourself during the hardest parts of effort, not easy steps or final rewards.
- Focus on the effort process and what you're not doing that could harm motivation or lead to ruminating.
The Bed-Making Motivation Example
- Making your bed is less about the task and more about avoiding negative behaviors.
- It's a forward-centered action that keeps you from ruminating or being passive.
