  • Summary

  • You'll rarely catch me using the term "hack." But this concept around demand avoidance is working great for me, so far...


    TLDR: Shortcutting the PDA brain's ability to use pattern recognition to avoid tasks early in a sequence.

    Here's the Instagram video by Kristy Forbes that inspired this episode.

    While she suggests introducing new sensory details, I'm going the route of sincerely telling myself that we don't need to do the final thing. We're just gonna do this step.


    Note: even if this or Kristy's suggestion works for you, there's a good chance you'll get used to it in some form eventually! And that's okay. Sometimes we just have to keep finding new ways to work with our pattern-seeking brains.
