Unlock the Secret to Staying Inspired and Productive While Everyone Else is on Break
“Ridiculously Easy”
If you want to create a habit, start out ridiculously easy. As an example, suppose you wanted to create a habit of working out every day. First write down what your ultimate goal is. Maybe you write “I want to do 50 pushups every day.” Then set a time every day when you’re going to work out, maybe 4 PM. Create an alarm on your phone for 4 PM, with the notation “Do pushups.”
Then on the first day, when your alarm goes off, DO NOT do 50 pushups.
Just do 1.
That’s right, one measly pushup on your first day. And repeat that for the entire first week. Don’t cheat and do more!
