Increase output, learn faster, avoid burnout

Relying on stress for productivity is a recipe for burnout. We can avoid burnout and increase our output when we optimise our mindsets. We can keep our mind firing on all cylinders through excitement and enjoyment instead of through stress and difficulty. We can learn faster and access more of our potential when we treat our brain like a brain instead of like a muscle. Brain training and mind workouts can be completely reframed to have a much bigger effect once we know what we are doing. - - - Connect with Sam: Join the conversation on the social podcast app - Podvine Sam's newsletter on creativity and entrepreneurship - Explosive Thinking  Sam's podcast on books - Wiser Than Yesterday  Support the Show - Patreon  If you enjoyed the podcast please subscribe and rate it.
