The Motivation Hangover: Why Feeling Inspired Is the Worst Time to Make a Plan

That surge of energy after a great podcast, a brutal Monday, or a 2am 'this has to change' moment feels like the perfect launching pad — but behavioral science says it's actually sabotaging you. In this episode, we dig into why peak emotional states produce the worst long-term decisions, what researchers call 'empathy gaps,' and how to build systems that work for your future, unmotivated, slightly-annoyed-at-everything self. No hype, no vision boards — just the unsexy architecture that actually holds. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
