Do Better Pod Live Recording Jan 23, 2024: Goals and Words for 2024

In this episode of the Do Better Podcast, Dr. Megan and Joe discuss goals and words for 2024 with members of the Do Better Community. What's your word for 2024? Podcast Summary from Fathom: Both Megan and Joe are focused on improving their health, routines, and productivity in 2024. Having an extensive list of health/self-care goals can be overwhelming and counterproductive. It's better to focus on 1-3 key goals at a time. Choosing a "word of the year" and integrating it into your life (like a password) can help focus intentions. Tools like planners, journals, and apps can help build habits and routines, if used consistently. Planning for obstacles and challenges in advance leads to better follow-through. The WOOP method (Wish, Outcome, Obstacles, Plan) is a helpful framework. Megan went on a cruise and is now trying to establish routines and new habits, but feels overwhelmed by their extensive list of 30+ health/self-care goals. They got a planner to track habits and routines. Joe is focused on productivity, planning, leadership, and being more disciplined in health habits like diet and exercise. They uses a "High Performance Planner". They discussed how having too many goals creates cognitive load and makes it hard to build consistent habits. It's better to focus on 1-3 high priority goals first. Joe uses "brain dumping" at night to reduce cognitive load. Megan's new planner helps their plan and track goals. Nicole shared that choosing a "word of the year" helps focus intentions. Joe's word is "disciplined". Writing goals down repeatedly (like in a password) keeps them top of mind. Vision boards also help visualize goals. Time blocking is useful but can be hard for dynamic jobs. Planning for obstacles in advance helps overcome challenges. Teaching supervisees methods like WOOP to plan for obstacles can set them up for real world success. They will revisit leadership strategies for behavior analysts in a future episode. Megan will confirm if their word of the year is "organized" in the next episode. They will interview Callie and discuss leadership strategies in future episodes. Next live podcast recording is February 27th at 12pm EST.
