🧠 5. Get the β€œWise Planner” and β€œImpulsive Toddler” to Work Together

Definition:

Your brain has a β€œWise Planner” for long-term goals and an β€œImpulsive Toddler” for instant gratification. They need balance.

Example:

"My Wise Planner sets a goal to study 2 hours a day, but my Toddler always gets distracted. I use a timer to keep them focused."

Application:

Let the Wise Planner choose study goals, but allow the Toddler to take breaks. Try studying for 25 minutes, then give yourself a 5-minute break. They’ll both stay happy.
