The Science of Breaking Bad Habits and Being More Productive
In this episode, Matheus guides us over a small portion of the peer-reviewed literature on the psychology of habits. We discuss some scientifically proven methods to help you prevent bad habits from firing such as environmental design. We also discuss the impact that motivation has on the process of breaking bad habits, and how overachievers become as productive as they are.
