You're not lazy or stupid - Your brain just works differently.

from The High Performance Gym

Do you ever feel like your brain is like a million browser tabs open at once? You start a task, get distracted and then set it aside to start a new project.  Only later do you realise you have a ton of unfinished projects. And nothing actually finished.You might think this is a motivation problem, a lack of willpower or that you’re just a lazy bugger who can’t finish what you started. But neither of those is true.      You’re not lazy, stupid or unmotivated. Your brain just works differently. And the harder you try to "fix" yourself, the worse it will get. In this episode, we’re going to discuss:Why your brain treats a simple email like climbing Everest (and why that's not your fault)How the Speed Boat Method will help you get projects finished three times faster.  The 3 chemicals that control focus and why your work environment could be the problem you fall behind on projects.  Why you feel constantly on edge. Hint, it’s because you’re fighting the wrong battle.  Why understanding ADHD will help you work with your brain so you’re not feeling anxious, rejected and like you’re always doing something wrong. >>> Energy Diagnostics Call: <<<Further resources, podcast episodes and people mentioned:Episode on GoalsHans Zimmer PlaylistAndrew Huberman PodcastConnect with me:Email InstagramFacebook
