A therapist shares her science-backed strategy for accomplishing tasks you dread. Tune in to today's podcast.
| |  | | Increase Your Willpower With Temptation Bundling | | | | We all have things that we don't want to do yet feel obligated to do them. Working out, cleaning the house, and paying the bills are just a few of those things that most of us don't love doing yet we know these things are important. | It's hard to force yourself to do something boring or to keep going on a task that you don't feel like doing.
When we give up on our goals–like quitting the gym–or we avoid doing something often enough–like cleaning the house–we can get down ourselves for not having the mental strength we need to persevere.
But, you don't need to rely on willpower to do unpleasant tasks. Instead, there are strategies you can use to make an unpleasant task feel more pleasant. Then, accomplishing it doesn't seem so dreadful.
That's where temptation bundling comes into play. It's a science-backed strategy that has been found to help people get those unpleasant tasks done more often.
And the best news is, you might even find yourself looking forward to those things you normally don't like doing when you employ this strategy regularly.
On today's episode, I'll explain what temptation bundling is, how it works, and how some people in my therapy office have used it to make their lives better. | | | | | | | | Follow: Apple Podcasts / Spotify / Google Podcasts / RSS | | How do you get motivated to do the things you don't want to do?
