One such case was the anxiety and the resulting apprehension I had toward arduous work, particularly my studies seeing my studies as a daunting mountain that I had to climb. I was stuck looking at the mountain in fear and dread for a long time; however, with the help of the Optimal Work podcast, I learned valuable lessons in overcoming this dread and anxiety, especially the skill of reframing. The big mountain that was impossible to climb now became a series of little hills through basic easy to implement tools such as scheduling.
