AMA #2: Procrastination Blockers - Understanding Enthusiasm - Auditory Processing Myths - Writing & Research Strategies - Scary People

Navigate different challenges by building understanding, mental models and good strategy.

In this episode of the Growth Mindset Psychology Podcast, host Sam Webster Harris dives into a range of listener questions:

• How do Auditory processing difficulties affect willingness to learn
• Does a lack of Enthusiasm indicate a negativity bias
• How do you stay organised and on time with big projects and avoid panicking and procrastination
• Why do I get scared of people who come across differently from my expectations?
• How does Sam research and write his episodes and remain unbiased?

We cover a lot of interesting studies, mental models and tips and trips to navigating these seemingly specific problems that have a lot of wider lessons for us all.

The episode has some common themes of how our environment affects us, how to stay motivated and on track and what are the detailed strategies people use to get results.
