Summary

Welcome to Minisode Monday, where we kick off the week with something quick and actionable -- to make you more magnetic and effective -- that you can implement right away. This time around, we talk about the factors that lead to self-sabotage, the self-perpetuating consequences, and what we can do to put a stop to the whole mess. Let's get to it! The Cheat Sheet: Do you agonize over the limited time available to deal with your workload -- or overall lifeload? When we're overwhelmed, a lot of things get swept under the rug. We're compelled to procrastinate, and whatever's left undone begins to build up -- which leaves us even more stressed and overwhelmed. We compare ourselves with people we know who seem to have it all together -- and our self-worth suffers as we fail to live up to what we believe should be possible. Why does this cycle of self-sabotage happen and how can we identify and put a stop to it? Some suggestions: eliminate distraction, change your environment, use the pomodoro technique, and try James Clear's two-minute rule. Here are some episodes related to self-sabotage and what we gain by defeating it: Nir Eyal | Hooked on Technology (Episode 431) Cal Newport | Deep Work (Episode 515) Tim Urban | Wait But Why (Episode 522) Barbara Oakley | Learning How to Learn (Episode 440) James Clear | Mental Models (Episode 592) To learn more about social dynamics and productivity hacks, take the Art of Charm Challenge by clicking here, or text CHARMED to 33444.

0:19.4	Sure you feel some low level or not so low level stress that leads to that overwhelmed
0:23.8	feeling that we just all loathe.
0:25.8	The problem with this is that a lot of things get swept under the rug.
0:29.6	We say we're going to do them later or we try to forget about them or rationalize
0:32.9	that they just don't even need to be done.
0:35.0	And this creeps up on us.
0:36.6	It becomes insidious and we start to lose sleep and start comparing ourselves to other people
0:41.3	who seem to have it all together.
0:43.0	Then the anxiety mixes with your lack of sleep and congeals into a lower sense of self-worth
0:48.6	and maybe even a lack of motivation, which leads to yet more slacking off and more comparison
0:54.0	with others and so on.
0:55.6	It's a vicious cycle.
0:56.9	Now the biggest problem with this isn't finding out that it's affecting us nor is it coming
1:01.4	up with some plan to get motivated and get more done.
1:04.7	The problem is that often the things standing in the way of us getting our proverbial ish
