After keeping track of these valuable lessons, you’d want to set some triggers to prompt yourself to take action on them.
A trigger is any stimulus that influences behaviors (similar to a cue)
- Time-based trigger: It’s 7 am — my alarm rang so I will get up to head for work
- Location-based trigger: I passed by the park so I will slow down, try to be more present, and take deep breaths to relieve my pressure
- Emotional State Trigger: I feel stressed so I will sit down and meditate
Ultimately, writing notes allows you to track your knowledge, and setting triggers reminds you to take action on them.
