Episode notes

For young individuals, it's crucial to choose work wisely to avoid demotivation. Setting too many goals can overwhelm the mind and lead to loss of motivation.

It's important to carefully select tasks, maintain a reasonable workload, and develop an evidence-based plan to ensure consistent motivation and success.
