  • Use the Triple Check Method to jumpstart your brain | Anne-Laure Le Cunff
    “Because of the efficiency worship that we have developed in our industrial age, we are now seeing procrastination as a character flaw rather than what it is, a signal that is worth listening to.” For centuries, we’ve treated procrastination as proof of personal weakness. A defect to be optimized, to be fixed. But what if we thought of procrastination as a signal, rather than a flaw, suggests neuroscientist and author Anne-Laure Le Cunff. To decode these signals, Le Cunff introduces ‘The Triple Check Method,’ a diagnostic tool to understand the root cause of the delay. She also reveals how to identify your personal “magic window,” a tool for effortless concentration that can help you rewire against procrastination. 0:00 The moralization of procrastination 1:47 The Triple Check Method 2:29 Using the method to take action 3:24 Looking for systemic barriers 3:55 Finding your ‘Magic Windows’ 5:56 Using procrastination to connect with our emotions ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Anne-Laure Le Cunff: Anne-Laure Le Cunff is an award-winning neuroscientist and entrepreneur.
