Step 3| Lower the Activation Energy

  1. Create Small Sub-tasks: Once you think you’ve made it small, make it even smaller than that.
  2. Decrease the Time Commitment: Use the Pomodoro Technique.
  3. Choose Easy Tasks to Build Momentum
  4. Lower your Expectations: This one applies to creative works, such as writing an essay. Tell yourself you’re not writing an essay, just one sentence. And you’re not writing for 1 hour, just for 3 minutes. Intentionally tell yourself that you’re going to write something bad.
