Similar ideas to Signaling That You Are Busy
A few smart strategies that can be deployed:
Your actions provide a signal to you of the type of person you are.
Your actions demonstrate what you really believe: If you wake up early and go running, you’ll think to yourself, I’m the kind of person that wakes up early and goes running.
