Solo episode! Today I’m explaining my viral neuroscience hack, The Novelty Rule. This simple theory is a game changing way to extend time and live a happier life.  In this episode of the Liz Moody Podcast, I discuss the 'novelty rule' that I created based on neuroscience research by Dr. David Eagleman from Stanford University. Introducing new and novel experiences can alter our perception of time, making life feel richer and longer. I share some ideas of weekly and monthly activities that you can use to incorporate novelty into your life, from small changes like brushing your teeth with your non-dominant hand to bigger adventures like trips and new hobbies. The episode also covers the importance of scheduling and anticipation in boosting happiness and maintaining robust friendships. I’ll help you enhance your daily life with simple yet effective changes. 00:00 Intro 00:44 The Novelty Rule: A Neuroscience Hack to Create More Time 04:14 Weekly Novelty Rule Ideas 06:24 The Importance of Calendaring 08:05 Monthly Novelty Rule Adventures 16:06 Novelty Rule for Parents 18:33 Final Thoughts For more from me, you can find me on Instagram @lizmoody or www.lizmoody.com.  Listen to Anna Goldfarb’s episode here The Secret To Making Soul Satisfying Friends As An Adult (Avoid The Mistake Everyone Makes!)
