Let’s begin with the 5 Second Rule. It was presented by Mel Robbins in her book of the same name. In Robbins’ own words :
If you have an instinct to act on a goal, you must physically move within 5 seconds or your brain will kill it.
This is how it works:
i- Start counting backward from 5 to 1(5,4,3,2,1).
ii- As soon as you hit 1, push yourself to take action.
Actually, this method is kind of a brain hack in which you trick your mind into starting a task. Counting backward till 1 has a psychological effect and it forces our mind to take action.
