Brainjo Bite: 6 Tips For How To Practice More

Over the past decade or so, the number of things vying for our attention has exploded.

Which means that, despite our best intentions, we may find ourselves doing less of the things that are most important to us.

But the research clearly shows that to be a losing strategy.

So let's choose winning strategies instead...

In this episode, you'll learn 6 simple tips (none of which require more willpower) for how to practice more - all of which are ones that I've used personally with great success.
