episode Ep136: Hot vs cold executive function - the secret to getting things done? cover

Description

Understanding how our brains work can be a game changer for productivity, especially when you're juggling the demands of a solo business. This week, I'm diving into the fascinating world of executive function - specifically the differences between your hot and cold executive functions (EF). It turns out that while your hot EF can be a motivator when the stakes are high, it can also lead to procrastination and distraction when emotions run wild. On the flip side, your cold EF brings consistency and focus but lacks that emotional spark to get you started. I’ll share how finding the right balance between these two can help you stay on track and make real progress, so you can start making your brilliant ideas happen!

Ep140: Ever wonder why it’s so hard to stick to your plans?

Following through with the plans you make can feel like an uphill battle sometimes, can't it? It’s not that you lack the skills or knowledge; it’s that doing it all alone can be a real struggle.

In this week's episode, I dig into why having support when planning can make a world of difference, helping you think more clearly and actually follow through. Can you imagine?!

In this episode, I dive into the difference between a to-do list and a proper plan, and why understanding this distinction is crucial for moving your business forward.
