In the fifth episode of Made to Thrive, Kim Walsh-Philips talks about anchoring. She reminds the listeners what episode four was all about and segues into episode five, which is about anchoring. She reminds her audience that it is okay to check social media, but if it’s getting in the way of one’s priorities then it is a distraction. However, if you were to allow yourself to check social media (as your reward) after you have completed an important task, then you are on the right path. Learn about the anchoring technique today!
