Welcome to QuickBrain, Bites-sized brain hacks for busy people who want to learn faster and achieve more.

I'm your coach, Jim Quick.

Free your mind.

Let's imagine if we could access 100% of our brain's capacity.

I wasn't high, wasn't wired, just clear.

I knew what I needed to do and how to do it.

I know Kung Fu.

Show me. Welcome back. I know Kung Fu.

Show me. Welcome back Quick Brains.

So how do you stop or break a habit quickly?

And I know the word break is, uh, maybe not the right word, but we got such powerful feedback from our earlier episode on how to form new habits and many people are asking, well, how do I do the opposite?

Right, if you think about a limiting behavior that you like to stop,

maybe it's to stop smoking or to binge watch Netflix or checking social media

or checking your phone first thing in the morning,

which I encourage people not to do because they become reactive

and they're getting all their dopamine fixes and getting driven to distraction in that way.

So how do you do it?

Is this just a matter of willpower?

So we have back for you Dr. B.J. Fogg,

Stanford Behavioral Scientists and Researcher,

World's leading expert on behavioral change.

Thanks for being back with us, Dr. Fogg.
