Austin Schrock's video: How to finish what you started almost every time

Have you ever wondered why it's so hard to follow through and finish what you've started? It's a timeless problem, with ancient Greek philosophers inventing a word to describe it. This video not only covers a few of their solutions but also shows me applying this to an area in my life to see if it works. The results were better than I hoped for. Did you know there is something called "time inconsistency"? It's an unfortunate result of our psychology, where our brain puts values on long-term benefits when they are in the future, but it values immediate gratification when it comes to the present moment. This is why you love the idea of diet until you're driving past McDonald's. Most of us don't make not following through painful enough. To combat this we use a powerful self-improvement tool called "leverage." This is when we link up that NOT changing will result in massive immediate amounts of pain, and that changing will result in massive immediate amounts of pleasure. The rest of the video gives clear examples of this self-improvement skill and how I apply it to my own life. 0:00-2:10 - Intro 2:10-6:00 - Leverage 6:00-11:21 - Testing it out 11:21-13:27 - Result 1-month free skillshare - https://skl.sh/3psK0sG Website - https://www.austinschrock.com/ Mind Castle Podcast - https://spoti.fi/3ptCzla My gear: https://kit.co/AustinXrepto (Scribd) Free Month of Unlimited Audio Books - https://www.scribd.com/g/5p1h4u Thanks for stopping by my channel where we focus our energy on self-improvement, productivity, and making the best possible versions of ourselves. Obviously, this is not attainable, which is kind of the point. Never stop growing and improving. Most of what we cover are personal lessons that I have learned, as I don't have the authority to speak for others, but just my personal experiences.
