MOMENTUM! Paul Erdős's Secret to Beating Burnout and Staying Focused

The fastest way to solve your toughest problem isn't to grind harder on it, it's to rotate your focus across a few problems at once, the way legendary mathematician Paul Erdős juggled hundreds of unsolved problems at a time. In this episode, I break down the neuroscience of why this "interleaving" beats multitasking, and I hand you seven simple tools to build this Erdős Method into your work week and your home life. By the end, you'll have a system for turning stuck, vague problems into ones your brain quietly keeps solving in the background.
