Mindsip insights from this episode:
Make impactful changes with four simple choices
To create a new result in your life, you only have four choices: stop something, start something, do less of something, or do more of something.
Calculate motivation using purpose, energy, and small steps
Motivation can be calculated with the formula P x E x S3, which stands for Purpose multiplied by Energy multiplied by Small Simple Steps.
Reframe problems as puzzles to find solutions
Adopt Quincy Jones's mindset by reframing life's 'problems' as 'puzzles,' which makes them feel more like a game with a solution.
Embrace responsibility to gain power for positive change
The opposite of the famous Spider-Man quote is also true: when you take great responsibility for your life, you gain great power to make things better.
Utilize your body as a memory palace for brain food recall
You can use a 2,500-year-old technique called the Memory Palace by associating items you need to remember, like a grocery list of 10 brain foods, with specific parts of your body.
Reclaim agency by transforming motivation, energy, and focus into actions
Reclaim your agency by treating states like motivation, energy, and focus not as things you *have* (nouns), but as processes you *do* (verbs).
Create a 'to-be list' to guide your actions
Alongside your to-do list, create a 'to-be list' that defines who you want to be in a given moment, such as compassionate or loving, which then guides your actions.
Be a thermostat to shape your environment
Instead of reacting to your environment like a thermometer, set your own internal state and let the environment react to you, like a thermostat.
