238. Building habits should be fun not a chore!
In this episode, host and entrepreneur Will Moore talks with Dr. Mike Rucker about the importance of incorporating enjoyment and flow into the process of building long-lasting habits for success. He emphasizes the dangers of solely chasing happiness and instead encourages listeners to be mindful of enjoying the process. Dr. Rucker shares his insights on the hedonic flexibility principle and how filling spare time with enjoyable activities can lead to increased productivity and success. He also discusses the role of temptation bundling and activity bundling in making habits more pleasurable, citing examples like CrossFit and fitness classes. Finally, Moore & Rucker delve into the concept of flow and how deliberate practice and upfront work can lead to achieving a "sweet spot" in the process of habit-building.
Tune in to learn how to build habits that will last a lifetime.
