Summary

Make the most of this summer with the novelty rule! If you aren’t familiar, the novelty rule is a neuroscience hack I created to make more memories, make time go by slower (no, really, and it’s science-backed), and truly make the most of my time whenever I can. When we introduce novelty into our lives intentionally, we live more memorable and more fulfilling lives. Today, I’m speaking with Justine Doiron, AKA Justine Snacks, about the best ways to spice up your summer. Novelty is all about embracing newness, whether you are making old habits or chores feel new or trying new experiences. The summer brings lots of opportunities to embrace novelty in your day-to-day life, friendships, and relationships.
