121. Frustration Tolerance: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How to Build It
Description
Frustration tolerance is one's ability to sustain attention, endurance and emotional composure during frustrating tasks.
While we all get frustrated from time to time, having a low frustration tolerance can have a serious impact on our work, school and personal lives.
In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I dive deep into frustration tolerance, its connection to ADHD, and how to improve your own frustration tolerance level so you can achieve your goals with less drama.
What You Learn:
- What frustration tolerance is and why it matters a ton
- The connection between frustration tolerance and ADHD (we get a little science-y here)
- The roles that emotional regulation, past experiences and personal narrative play in our ability to handle hard tasks
- How to make tasks less frustrating in the first place (so you don't hit your max capacity so soon)
- What to do when you do hit your maximum frustration tolerance and you still have work to do
- The ultimate mega strategy for improving your frustration tolerance so you can learn and work more peacefully and with way less drama
