The ambition killer: instant gratification.

Mastering Delayed Gratification: Strategies for Long-Term Success

Instant gratification vs delayed gratification. We explore how the tendency to seek immediate pleasure can hinder long-term goals, using examples like exercise and phone usage. The discussion includes strategies to develop delayed gratification, such as creating a vision for the future and designing an environment that supports long-term goals. Understanding and adjusting our behaviours can better align our actions with our aspirations for a healthier and more fulfilling life.
