030: Rewire Your Brain to Get Unstuck

  • Resumen

  • Do you ever feel stuck? As if you can't seem to move forward despite doing what you have to do? Like there's an invisible wall you can't seem to cross? If so, you're not alone. Most people find themselves stuck in different aspects of their lives. It's nothing new! You can also get out of it, become more efficient, and see the progress you've always wanted.

    ST Rappaport, a productivity coach. She coaches people, especially growing entrepreneurs, to rewire their brains and achieve results. Now, she joins the podcast to share more about the Feuerstein methods. Specifically, to take control of your lives, find focus and increase productivity professionally and personally.

    Cognitive Deficiencies

    If you have a cup inside and there are holes in your cup, whatever you pour inside the cup will come out of those holes. But as soon as you close those holes, pour any drink - it stays in the cup. Now, your brain is the same way. It has what's called cognitive deficiencies. And when you're trying all these hacks, tips, courses, reading books, or whatever you're doing to become more productive, improve a specific area of your life, or learn this new technique. And despite you putting in all the work and effort, it's just going right out of those holes. But when you close those holes and improve those cognitive functions, all those tips and hacks will now work for your brain.

    Cognitive Functions

    The act of thinking is made up of what's called 28 cognitive functions. It means that there are 28 parts to this act of thinking. Now, we all have weaker and stronger ones. And different people have different areas. So when one of them is weak, it's like those holes. When one of them is weak, we have a hole in that aspect of our life, and things fall out. For example, if you're good at planning, you will eventually plan your day and organize everything to get things done. However, if you want everything to happen right now, let's say you need to go to the laundry today but know you'd also go there again tomorrow. You would still go to the laundry today because you want it to happen now even though there's no reason - but because it has to happen. Now your brain couldn't say, this has to go on the back burner for a while. It's fine if it goes to the cleaners tomorrow, so don't waste time going to the cleaners today and then going into the cleaners again tomorrow when there is no need for it now. But it won't because it's stupid. This cognitive function is called categorization, which is how your brain can categorize things. And that cognitive function in your brain is weak, and that's the hole in your brain. 

    System

    You want to work with your brain, not against your brain. Create a system to work together with your brain. For example, if you have a hole in your memory, you can think of a great idea but forget it after a while. You can have a piece of paper on your desk or notes on your phone. So as soon as you have an idea, something you know you have to do, it goes right down on that paper. And you could be in the middle of a session with a client, podcast recording, or anything. You have that paper, and you can write it down. Because that way, you don't forget it. However, every person's brain works differently. And you have to find the method that works for your brain. 

    Better Habits

    It doesn't happen overnight, it takes months, and you must create those new neural connections. But once they're there, they're forever because you created those new neural connections. Now, it's a bit difficult to say, to go and do this, instead of doing that, because that is almost like just giving you another hack, right? Specifically, it's harder because of those holes. So what you should do is a little bit less tangible, like go into this box - what's going to make the difference? You'll want to do it for the next couple of days, and it's going to take time, but you have to be conscious...
