272: Staying Busy as a Defense Mechanism, Languishing, and the Power of Patterns (feat. Justin Kendrick)

Podcast · December 8, 2021

Today, we’re talking about how to create better habits for everyday life. Goal setting is failing, and it’s often because habits and systems are unstructured. Justin Kendrick, today’s guest will unpack the mechanics of focus and he will also talk about why too many people stay busy as a defense mechanism for a deeper issue looming in their hearts.
