Hank's Fyre Fest: a routine dental crown appointment reduced him to a tense, tensed-up mess who the dentist had to repeatedly tell to stop tensing. PFT's Fyre Fest: Brandon Aiyuk's relentless social media lobbying to join the Washington Commanders has crossed into stalker territory — PFT now yearns for the mental stability and groundedness of Stefon Diggs. Zach's Fyre Fest: he is moving to a new apartment 800 feet away, has no car, no couch (he's leaving it), and what he calls a 'dolly' is actually an industrial laundry basket with wheels. The crew immediately volunteers a PMT TV episode where all nine of them physically walk his belongings down the street. Big Cat closes with the end of Pug softball season — undefeated in the playoffs, 8-1 on the year, rained out before the semifinals, channeling a Florida State 'we're the champions' energy despite not finishing.
Caleb Williams listens to John Legend's 'Ordinary People' right before every game as part of a routine he has maintained for six to seven years.
Hank had a meltdown getting a dental crown at 33 years old. PFT is being love-bombed by Brandon Aiyuk's Commanders ticket sales campaign. And Zach is moving 800 feet to a new apartment, has no car, has no couch, and considers an industrial laundry basket a 'dolly.'
Spencer Greenberg and Jeremy Stevenson analyzed almost 500 self-improvement techniques and found they all reduce to just 12 underlying psychological drivers.
Cold exposure has good short-term alertness benefits but the evidence base for long-term health benefits is much weaker than popularly believed.
In a randomized study of 20 habit-formation techniques run on hundreds of people, almost none of the techniques produced statistically meaningful results.
People given a tiny-habit fallback option (e.g. 10 squats instead of gym) were actually MORE successful at completing the full habit, not less.
The most effective habit-formation technique was 'habit reflection' — recalling a past successful habit, writing down what helped, then applying those lessons to a new habit.
A study found that simply scheduling enjoyable activities was as effective as standard cognitive behavioral therapy for depression, leading to its own therapy called behavioral activation.
The 'worry time' technique — deferring all worries to a designated time of day — helps people realize they have more control over worry than they thought and reveals it is less useful than it feels.
A study found that participants told to try to stay awake while in bed fell asleep faster than participants told to try to sleep — illustrating the paradox of direct effort.
Spencer Greenberg reduced his severe social anxiety dramatically in roughly 6 months through a structured exposure therapy hierarchy, culminating in asking strangers for hugs.
