But like you get the point.

Let's say next to my coffee is actually my computer because I know I need to write in the morning.

Maybe after lunch, I need to send a hard email.

So I put a little note on there every day that says send the hard email today.

Like this is just habit stacking.

You piggyback on an existing behavior so the new one doesn't have to fight for attention from scratch.

And then I kind of think about O is for open and tiny.

Like you don't have to solve everything at once.

Start really teeny tiny.

I'm going to write one ugly paragraph, right?

You don't have to say I'm going to become a runner.

You can say shoes on out the door five minutes today.

The point isn't to win the whole battle.

It's one little baby move.

Then we got E for engineer reward.

Engineer reward is this idea that your brain likes to get an immediate payoff.

So use that.

Like one of my friends used to talk about the fact that every time you went to work out, he would actually allow himself to have a candy bar before he went.

And I was like, what is wrong with you?

Doesn't that defeat the purpose?
