The Five Star Minute

Anmerkungen

Have you ever deliberately set your clock five minutes fast so you'll always be early?

It's a clever idea, until you remember that you're the person who changed the clock. So you simply subtract five minutes every time you look at it, defeating the entire purpose.

In Episode 300 of Five Star Minute, we explore the funny little ways we try to outsmart ourselves.

From buying exercise equipment to downloading productivity apps and making ambitious resolutions, we often create elaborate systems to encourage better behaviour.

And while these tools can genuinely help, sometimes the real challenge isn't finding another trick. It's understanding why we're avoiding the action in the first place.

Perhaps meaningful change begins when we stop trying to fool ourselves and start being a little more honest about our habits.

You can move the hands of the clock, but that doesn't mean you've moved yourself forward.
