Here's what you shouldn't do. Part 2.

Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leaps, big changes where I share simple research-based strategies you can use to get more out of your life.

My name is Greg Klunis and in our last episode we talked about what you shouldn't do or more specifically

we talked about the not to do list this is a strategy used by many when they're trying to be more productive, more focused throughout their day,

when they really need to figure out what they shouldn't be spending their time on so that they can utilize that time towards the things that

that willpower alone can solve for and it's not something that you can expect to shift the first, second, third, or fourth time that you try. Making changes

over time, especially to behaviors that are long ingrained in your

behavioral patterns, is an incredibly complex and an incredibly challenging

process.
