Waiting to "feel like" doing something is a trap. Motivation goes up and down like the weather, so you can't rely on it to get things done
Here is how to make success automatic instead:
- Make it tiny: Start with a step so small that it takes almost zero effort to do. (For example, write just one sentence instead of a whole page.)
- Piggyback on daily habits: Attach your new habit to something you already do every single day, like brushing your teeth or making morning coffee.
- Remove roadblocks: Clean up your workspace and put away distractions before you start, so you don't have to fight yourself to stay focused.
When you build smart systems, you don't need endless willpower to win.
