Don't let side effects/discomfort stop you from trying!

A forcing function is just one of the many tactics you can use to achieve your goals. They’re effective, but they can also be uncomfortable if the difficulty level or stakes are too high.

If the forcing function is overwhelming, adjust it:

• work on a smaller goal/milestone/project first
• reduce the frequency slightly
• focus on showing up consistently, not how much you’ve achieved in a particular instance
