The Bulletproof Dental Practice Podcast Episode 333 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden & Dr. Craig Spodak TAKEAWAYS Recognize the difference between real goals and mere wishes by observing changes in physiology. Set specific and challenging goals to engage the brain's dopamine circuitry. Write down goals in your handwriting to activate ancestral neural pathways. Keep goals to yourself to avoid premature dopamine release and maintain motivation. Visualize both success and failure to increase the likelihood of goal achievement. Take advantage of peak motivation times, which occur 30 minutes, three hours, and 11 hours after waking. Set moderately challenging goals and break them into 12-week tranches for increased motivation and progress. Overcome procrastination by committing to five minutes of focused work on a task.
