Listen "S2 - Episode 12 : The Instant Gratification Battle: Winning the War for Long-Term Goals"
Episode Synopsis
Why do we reach for the cookie, scroll social media, or binge-watch shows when we know we have important goals? This episode tackles the universal struggle against instant gratification. Understand the concept of 'temporal discounting' and how our brains prioritize immediate rewards. Using Plato's Charioteer allegory, learn practical strategies to strengthen your resolve, make future rewards more tangible, break down goals, and increase friction for those tempting immediate fixes. Choose long-term fulfillment over fleeting pleasure.
