Episode Summary

Forming Productive Habits is a key skill to develop if you want to up your game and get more done. There’s a lot of folklore and old wives tales about what you need to do and how long it takes to form any habit.

However a growing body of behavioural and neuroscience research has helped us understand what happens when we form a habit. This research is also showing us how we can take control of that process by choice.

In this episode, neuro-enthusiast Steve Marriott dissects the anatomy of a habit and how it is formed in our brain. His insights will help you when forming productive habits.

I was really excited about having Steve on the show for two reasons.

The first was because of his depth of knowledge of neuroscience and the amount of preparation I know he did for the interview, even though I told him not to.

But secondly because I have personally worked with and alongside him for the last 10 and have seen first hand how brilliant his insights are.

So it was a real joy and a privilege to have such a great friend and valued colleague on the show.
