89: Why Women MUST Do Habits Differently with Monica Packer
About this episode
I’m joined today by Monica Packer, host of the About Progress podcast, as we talk about habits. Specifically, our discussion focuses on why the habit-forming advice out there written by men does not work for women. Join us!
Show Highlights:
● Monica’s background as a blogger and podcaster who had to “learn how to fail”
● Understanding that perfectionism is a spectrum that affects our ability to form “good habits”
● Monica’s lightbulb moment: “Maybe our methods are broken.”
● The biggest difference between men’s and women’s habits: invisible labor
● How invisible labor is defined–and what the statistics show
● Examples of the mental load that women carry
● Popular culture advice (about forming habits) that DOES NOT work
● Monica’s tips for forming habits: redefine consistency, shift your view of habits, and start with the smallest and simplest form of the ideal
● Bedtime Revenge Procrastination is real for many women!
● The goal of habits is to support you—so do it YOUR way!
● Understanding trade-offs and how they work for most women
