The Motivated Mind

Intermittent fasting isn’t a diet; it’s about when you eat, not what you eat. For the last two years, I’ve been unintentionally doing a 16-hour fast every day. I didn’t plan it, and I definitely didn’t expect it to stick. So I decided to dive into the latest science and expert opinions to see what’s really going on. Is fasting the secret to better health, or just another overhyped trend?For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you’ll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room). And/or…Unlock practical and tactical insights on how to master your mindset and optimize your happiness directly to your inbox.If you’re a glutton for punishment and want more swift kicks in the mind follow me on social:InstagramYouTubeLeave a review and tell me how I suck so I can stop doing that or you can also tell me about things you like.

I love organization. Maybe it’s the minimalist in me, or the perfectionist, but there’s something deeply satisfying about turning chaos into order. The problem is, most organizing advice online seems designed for people with infinite time, money, and storage space (and no kids). In this episode, I share seven simple, realistic things my wife and I actually do to keep our home clean, tidy, and functional, without it becoming a full-time job.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comEpisode resources:Reusable cable ties and cable clip cord organizersShoe rackDrawer dividers and silverware organizersGlass food storage containers, stainless steel food containers, and food containers27-gallon storage toteLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you’ll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room). And/or…Unlock practical and tactical insights on how to master your mindset and optimize your happiness directly to your inbox.If you’re a glutton for punishment and want more swift kicks in the mind follow me on social:InstagramYouTubeLeave a review and tell me how I suck so I can stop doing that or you can also tell me about things you like.

At some point, self-care went from drinking water and getting enough sleep to sticking coffee where the sun doesn’t shine. Literally. The global self-care market ballooned from $10 billion in 2014 to over $450 billion by 2020, and along the way, wellness became a full-time job. From 4:30 a.m. wake-ups to skincare routines that require a chemistry degree, we’ve officially overcomplicated the art of taking care of ourselves. In this episode, I react to some of the most viral “self-improvement” TikToks and reels, unpacking the absurdity, and asking a simple question: when did growth stop being… simple?For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you’ll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room). And/or…Unlock practical and tactical insights on how to master your mindset and optimize your happiness directly to your inbox.If you’re a glutton for punishment and want more swift kicks in the mind follow me on social:InstagramYouTubeLeave a review and tell me how I suck so I can stop doing that or you can also tell me about things you like.
