93. The 10-Minute Habit That Makes Every Day Less Stressful and More Productive
Manage episode 508350923 series 3534316
Beating procrastination and lowering stress at school and at work requires getting crystal-clear about what you’re doing. Without clarity, your mind spirals with anxious questions (What do I have to do? Am I missing something?) and you’re more likely to waste time on the wrong things.
In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I teach you a practical 10-minute habit that can revolutionize how you begin and end each day — so that you feel good about the work you did today and have clarity about the work you’ll face tomorrow.
What You Learn:
- Why unfinished tasks (open loops) make it hard to focus or relax.
- How a quick 10-minute habit (split into two simple 5-minute routines) can lower stress at night and boost clarity in the morning.
- Why this system works for both students and professionals, no matter how busy you are.
- The hidden link between clarity and procrastination
- Common excuses that keep people from sticking with new habits
