#1 Habit Expert: Why Your To Do List Is Making You Less Productive
My First Million episode 815, in which Sam Parr talks with author Charles Duhigg about how to change your life through habits. Charles explains the habit loop and the idea of replacing part of a routine, argues for dealing with small tasks such as email right away to free up mental space, and discusses what he calls super communicators, including connection, trust and why he thinks authenticity is really the act of being willing to be vulnerable. He also describes his reporting method of mass outreach, saying only a few percent respond and that great work requires being willing to waste time. Sponsor named in the description: HubSpot. PARTIAL COVERAGE: this note draws on the opening, the inbox, communication, authenticity and cold outreach sections and the closing, and may miss parts of the roughly 58 minute video. Personal stories, including the host's past drinking, and all claims about brains and behavior are the speakers' own. Nothing here is medical, mental-health, legal or financial advice.
