🍍The Cut Pineapple Principle: how to do the right thing without discipline

A whole pineapple can ruin a perfectly good habit. 

Today we start with a real coaching case study on nutrition habits and why “I’ll just do it” collapses under real life.  

Then we translate the same systems thinking into workplace transformation and leadership: why telling a team to “use AI” or “give better feedback” rarely works, and what does work instead. Think: clear playbooks, tiny recipes, calendar time to practice, and scripts that remove hesitation so people can act without second guessing.  

We also unpack the psychology behind stalled action, including choice overload and why too many options can lead to no choice at all, plus the neuroscience of habits and automatic behavior. You’ll leave with practical habit building and productivity tools you can apply to health routines, time management, feedback culture, and change management, especially when you have a busy schedule and zero extra bandwidth.  

If this helps, subscribe to Change Wired Podcast, share it with a leader or teammate who’s trying to drive change, and leave a review so more people can learn how to cut the pineapple and make the right thing the easy thing.
