1. 5 Second Rule

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.
