Ep 1: Welcome to the Practice

Your brain is processing thousands of thoughts every day, and most of them are running on autopilot. In this first episode, Laura introduces the single most important filter you can apply to your thinking: is this thought useful for what I'm trying to accomplish? You'll learn why "true" and "useful" are two completely different systems of thought, why your ability to focus is becoming an elite-level skill, and what Napoleon Hill's concept of "the drift" looks like in your life right now.This episode covers:The useful vs. true filter and how to start applying it immediatelyWhy focused attention is becoming one of the most valuable skills you can developThe drift: how your thinking gets hijacked without you realizing itWhat it means to treat this podcast as a deliberate practice for your mindConnect with Laura:Instagram: @think.lauraJoin Laura's Free Thinking Practice on Substack: ThinkLaura
