ANNOUNCING YOUR GOALS CAN UNDERMINE YOUR PROGRESS• - The episode of the Huberman Lab podcast out now is all about goals. How to set them, how best to pursue them, and how to ensure successful goal completion. I cover everything in a practical toolkit, including designating milestones, reward schedules, and more. - I also dispel some common myths. For instance, that post-it notes and visual reminders are useful. I explain why they can actually slow progress and explain better science supported (zero cost) alternatives. - I also explain why announcing your goals to others— while it can increase accountability, can lead to problems that undermine your goals. - The reason is that when we inform others of our plans, and they are generally supportive of us, that support can become its own form of reward and undermine our initiation and completion of the project/goal. I offer some better approaches. - All of the tools and protocols are set within the context of the scientific literature and mechanisms on goalsetting and completion. - You can find the episode in all formats at hubermanlab.com; this and all HLP episodes are timestamped so that you can navigate easily to the topics most of interest to you. - Meanwhile, please put any questions you have in the comments section below this post, and as always, thank you for your interest in science! - @hubermanlab @stanford.med @stanford @nihgov @nimhgov @societyforneuroscience @cellpress - #neuroscience #science #neurosciencia #ciencia #brain #neuroplasticity #goals #motivation #announcement #accountability #dopamine
