ADVICE

Eat The Frog First Thing

  • Do the hardest, highest-leverage task first thing in the morning before checking email or apps.
  • Leila uses Brian Tracy's "eat the frog": identify one avoided task and execute it before Slack, Instagram, or email.
ANECDOTE

Body Pump Overdo Led To Avoidance

  • Leila tried body pump three days in a row and collapsed walking upstairs the next day, showing overdoing causes avoidance.
  • She learned if a habit feels punishing or too advanced you'll associate it with negativity and stop doing it.
INSIGHT

Emotions Follow Motion

  • Tolerating fear and discomfort is the path to breakthroughs because emotions follow motion.
  • Leila notes fear peaks before the breakthrough and disappears once you stay in the situation and don't run away.
