The Motivated Mind

The Hidden Habit That’s Draining Your Willpower

Episode Description from the Publisher

Most days, we’re not working nonstop; we’re just never fully stopping, and if we do, we pick up our phones and call it recovery, even though we end the day feeling more depleted than we started. And when our energy disappears, we assume something’s wrong with our discipline. This is the habit that’s quietly draining your willpower, and why real recovery looks very different than what we’ve been taught. New here? I’m Scott 👋 I walked away from $1.7M in equity to chase my entrepreneurial dreams. Bold or stupid? Still TBD. Now I make videos about mastering your mindset, building better habits, and actually enjoying the process. No fluff, no guru nonsense, just philosophy, psychology, and a few jokes about dodging existential dread. Please subscribe so my wife doesn’t make me go back to a “real” job.
