The Science of Setting Achieving Goals

In this episode I discuss the science of setting assessing and pursuing goals I explain the neural brain circuits that underlie goal setting and pursuit Then I describe nine science-supported tools anyone can apply toward their goals I explain when and how to use goal visualization when to use multitasking and how to use specific rewards to improve the likelihood of reaching your goals I also explain why envisioning failures and their consequences are effective and how to set goals of the appropriate level of challenge I also explain how the molecule dopamine is used to gauge our progress toward milestones and long-term overarching goals and how to leverage dopamine for goal pursuit Finally I explain a unique tool called 'space-time bridging' that can be used to support all aspects of goal setting assessment and pursuit This episode ought to be useful for anyone seeking to improve their performance in work school exercise athletics or personal development HubermanLab Goals Neuroscience Thank you to our sponsors LMNT - a https 3A 2F 2Fwww drinkLMNT com 2Fhuberman a Athletic Greens - a https 3A 2F 2Fwww athleticgreens com 2Fhuberman a ROKA - a https 3A 2F 2Fwww roka com a - code huberman Our Patreon page a https 3A 2F 2Fwww patreon com 2Fandrewhuberman a Supplements from Thorne a http 3A 2F 2Fwww thorne com 2Fu 2Fhuberman a Social Instagram - a https 3A 2F 2Fwww instagram com 2Fhubermanlab a Twitter - a https 3A 2F 2Ftwitter com 2Fhubermanlab a Facebook - a https 3A 2F 2Fwww facebook com 2Fhubermanlab a Website - a https 3A 2F 2Fhubermanlab com a Newsletter - a https 3A 2F 2Fhubermanlab com a neural-network Links The 85 Rule for Optimal Learning - a https 3A 2F 2Fwww nature com 2Farticles 2Fs41467-019-12552-4 a Effects of Narrowing Visual Attention on Goal Pursuit Behavior - a https 3A 2F 2Fjournals sagepub com 2Fdoi 2F10 1177 2F0146167219861438 a Timestamps 00 00 00 The Neuroscience of Goals 00 01 56 Tool 1 Learn Fast er by the 85 Rule 00 06 04 LMNT Athletic Greens ROKA 00 13 55 Brain Circuits for Setting Pursuing Goals 00 21 52 Determining the Value of Goals 00 24 33 Psychology of Goal Setting Assessing Value Action Steps 00 30 29 Peripersonal Space vs Extrapersonal Space 00 35 39 Visually Focusing on a Goal Line Improves Performance 00 43 50 How Vision Improves Performance Blood Pressure 00 51 55 Tool 2 Use Focal Vision to Initiate Goal Pursuit 00 54 40 Tool 3 Use Aged Self-Images to Self-Motivate 00 59 33 Tool 4 Visualization of Goals is Only Helpful at the Start 01 02 05 Tool 5 Visualizing Failure is the Best Ongoing Motivator 01 07 26 Tool 6 Make Goals Moderately Lofty 01 13 05 Tool 7 Avoid Goal Distraction Focus on 1-2 Major Goals Per Year 01 15 57 Tool 8 Ensure Specificity of Goals Weekly Assessment 01 19 57 Dopamine Motivation Pleasure in Seeking Goals 01 22 43 Dopamine Reward Prediction Error Controlling Dopamine 01 34 26 How Dopamine Influences Vision Vice Versa 01 38 10 Interim Summary of Goal-Pursuit Steps 01 39 50 Tool 9 Space-Time Bridging 01 49 59 Summary 01 51 50 Subscribe Sponsors Patreon Supplements Thorne Instagram Twitter Newsletter Please note that The Huberman Lab Podcast is distinct from Dr Huberman's teaching and research roles at Stanford University School of Medicine The information provided in this show is not medical advice nor should it be taken or applied as a replacement for medical advice The Huberman Lab Podcast its employees guests and affiliates assume no liability for the application of the information discussed Title Card Photo Credit Mike Blabac - a https 3A 2F 2Fwww blabacphoto com a
