Episode 93 - How To Get Out of the Planning Trap with Priyanka Venugopal

Send us a text

“I just need a really good plan,” is a phrase that offers overachievers a sense of security, but the cycle of planning is often what holds us back from achieving our goals. In today’s episode, Dr. Priyanka Venugopal joins me to discuss why plans alone don’t deliver the desired results and how embracing a different, more informed strategy can lead to greater clarity, growth, and success. Here’s what we cover:

  • Why just having a plan on paper is never going to create lasting results because we have to go the extra step to evaluate what actually works
  • How planning triggers the reward centers of the brain because you are imagining doing the plan perfectly, but this often leads to inaction instead of achievement
  • We know we can do hard things, but a plan shifts our focus to wishfulness instead of doing the work
  • How to speak to yourself with compassion so your evaluation doesn't feel like self-punishment
  • 5 questions to help you uncover the reason your plan didn’t work and how to adjust moving forward
  • It’s possible to allow yourself to feel your emotions while also being curious and realistic
  • Why it’s important to acknowledge your efforts every step of the way - not just when you get a result

I can't wait for you to listen!
