Episode notes
Brain-Friendly Goals Beat Willpower
- Goals fail because the brain lacks clear, actionable signals, not because of laziness.
- Design goals for how your mind works by adding clarity, structure, and strategy.
Write 90-Day Goals With Lead Measures
- Write three specific 90-day goals and pair each with measurable lead measures.
- Track weekly and focus on actions (leads) that make the outcomes (lags) inevitable.
Vision Reinforces Intention
- Seeing goals frequently trains your brain because it obeys what it sees most.
- Place goals where your eyes go: lock screen, mirror, or coffee maker.
