Why does knowing what to do still not translate into doing it?

In part two of this two-part series, the focus shifts from diagnosing the intelligence trap to dealing with it. This episode looks at how systems, attention, and environment matter more than motivation or willpower when it comes to sustained productivity.

Rather than pushing harder, the episode explores how to redirect intelligence by changing structure, protecting attention, and designing conditions where progress becomes the default instead of a daily fight. 

“Motivation is unreliable. Systems are what keep work moving when energy drops.”
Carter Ferguson (Host)
