The best strategy to get over a mental hurdle
💬 Today’s tip: When you’re feeling stuck, talk through the problem out loud.
Yes, we mean talking to yourself. And yes, it’s going to feel weird at first. But as
points out in Forge, giving voice to your internal monologue is a research-backed strategy for improving your cognitive processing abilities.“You understand the concept if you’ve ever walked around the house going, ‘Car keys… where are my car keys?’” Morgan explains.

Soon enough, you’ll talk your way right into a solution.
