What if the key to getting hard tasks done when you’re overwhelmed (or just bored!) isn’t willpower—but more pleasure? This week, Gervase shares how to work with your nervous system by infusing your daily life with pleasure and intentionality when you want to give up. This isn’t about numbing out or pushing through. It’s about tending to yourself so you can stay in the game instead of burning out or bailing when things get tough.

• The kitchen sink saga that sparked this episode, and why it’s Gervase’s North Star when it comes to her business, parenting and I getting sh*tty tasks done (aka: never-ending admin!)

• The ONE question to ask yourself when you want to bail on a hard task so you can stay in the game without burning out

• Why adding just 1% more pleasure can ease overwhelm, help you get the thing done, and soothe your nervous system

• How intention anchors you when motivation is low and pressure is high

• How to stay in the “uncomfortable middle” when you want to quit your job (and burn it all down!)

If you’re tired of grinding your way through resistance (or giving up and regretting it later) and you’d like to adopt a more joyful, soul-honoring way of being during these moments, this short and simple episode is for you. Follow Gervase
