Switching On: How To Get Raring And Going For Life
About this episode
How do we physically and mentally prepare ourselves for periods of productivity?
In Episode #312 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: whether it is possible to be jacked and going all the time, why routine can take away effort in hyping oneself up, how we trigger ourselves into focused concentration, why Juan likes the Ultradian rhythm technique, a detour into the exciting new Podcasting 2.0 developments, how stimulants like coffee can be used and whether it is more important for us to have the ability to turn on or off.
Yuge thanks to Petar the Perennial, Dave Jones the Podsage and Brando Sellers from the SLIEK Podcast. Legends!
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
