Welcome back to Honing In and a solo episode where I dive deep into literature and real-life examples about aspirational goal setting and tangible frameworks for overcoming the productivity obstacles they cause.

Listen Now

In the episode, I discuss the impacts of the Optimism Bias and the Planning Fallacy, and break down how we can use the Proactive Plans and Acute Actions framework to make our plans more realistic.

I also share…

• Why cognitive biases cause us to set unrealistic goals

• Unique challenges of cognitive biases for people with ADHD and depression

• That time I thought I could do my comprehensive exams in 3 weeks

• How I use the Proactive Plans and Acute Actions framework with a real-life example

I hope you enjoy listening to me nerd out about cognitive bias research!

Take care and talk soon,

Dr. Kate
