Dr. Kashey speaks to desk jockeys or anyone else that has a typical 9-5 workday. Although it can seem like work takes up the entire day, Dr. Kashey proposes that there is still a whole other day’s worth of time after work. This time should be filled with meaningful hobbies and other skill-building activities that enrich your life. In turn, your job productivity and workplace satisfaction will increase. After a long day at work, spending time in front of a screen in the name of “relaxation” can be enticing, whether it be scrolling through social media, falling for various click-bait strategies, or watching TV. Dr. Kashey challenges us to instead fill that time with purposeful, passion-driven activities.

Procrastination: the 3-headed monster. Anxiety, boredom, and rebellion are the three main causes of procrastination, according to Dr. Kashey. He explains that there are many different types of “procrastinalities,” such as perfectionists, grand architects, worrywarts, contrarians, doormats, and others. Each procrastinality type has at least this one thing in common: they can find a way to justify putting off a task until tomorrow. But alas, tomorrow is always tomorrow. Dr. Kashey reminds us that we should treat ourselves better than constantly breaking promises to our future selves via procrastination.

Dr. Kashey revisits his definition of violence: “using brain force to influence change,” and his definition of brain force, which is “focus times intervention times persistence.” Focusing on the persistence part of the equation, Dr. Kashey goes into depth about persistence and why it’s important. Persistence is the length of continuous effort – keeping at it, continuing on, working through roadblocks, assessing and addressing self-sabotage, escaping and avoiding traps, and various other real-life distractions. It is vital for health and fitness goals, but sometimes it can be hard to persist due to getting thrown off course, choosing rebellion, or not knowing how to leverage persistence. Dr. Kashey is ready to help anyone looking for advice on how to persist.

When problems arise, it can be easy to create even more problems rather than solutions. Dr. Kashey understands what it’s like to get stuck in a rut of problems, and has plenty of advice to give concerning increasing self-efficacy and confidence in order to get yourself out of the rut. He goes into detail on practical problems versus thinking problems and how each type of problem deserves a different approach. He reminds us that setting ridiculously high standards and expectations for ourselves can discourage us when we are unable to meet them. However, this does not mean that we should keep our expectations low in order to avoid disappointment.

A dash of Dr. Kashey’s violence may be what you need to reach your goals. In this episode, Dr. Kashey describes violence as a force to influence change, with force being cognitive. Instead of putting off commitments or goals with if’s, and’s, or but’s, we need to exercise our brainpower in order to influence the effective change necessary to reach our goals. He coaches us to define our problems, intervene with proper methods, tactics, and tools to solve those problems and stay persistent with continuous effort. Persistence is especially important since reaching goals and solving problems is a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year endeavor.

In this episode, Dr. Kashey scrutinizes the phrase “sitting is the new smoking.” While it is true that prolonged sitting is detrimental to overall health, this does not mean that sitting should be avoided altogether. It makes sense to sit when physically exhausted; but when mentally exhausted, studies show that people are more likely to stand up and/or fidget. Dr. Kashey encourages us to shift our minds from wondering “How to sit less often” to asking ourselves “Why am I sitting so often?” Nowadays, more and more people are aware of the fact that standing and moving should be a priority. Thankfully, there are many ways to increase the opportunity to replace sitting with standing and movement.

When it comes time to make a big decision, it can be tempting to wait a while before choosing in an attempt to make a better decision or avoid being impulsive. However, Dr. Kashey points out that waiting to make a decision doesn’t always result in a better decision. In reality, the longer you wait to make a decision, the more likely you’ll settle for something you were avoiding in the first place. If you need help putting your energy into engineering the outcome instead of stressing about the decision, the good Dr. Kashey has your back!
