We as human beings make thousands of decisions each day, and it’s in those moments of contemplation that we waste cognitive energy. If we hesitate for long enough, our bodies will persuade our minds to make decisions that keep us comfortable. That is why we tend to skip workouts and procrastinate on tasks. The 321 method is extremely simple but also very effective. It has you focused on counting down from 3, freeing yourself momentarily from the battle between your mind and body. Then on 1 you immediately move on to a subsequent task. Since you don’t give yourself time to second guess, you are able to overcome the initial friction point more easily. I usually do this in the mornings when my alarm clock goes off. Instead of snoozing, I’ll simply roll over, count down from three, and get up. This can be a powerful subconscious tool if you master the habit! Guide to academic success preorders next friday! If you want to be one of the firsts DM me on IG :)
So where were we? Oh yes. You were holding your breath.
