Use temptation bundling to pair an activity you want to do with one you need to do from "summary" of Summary of “Atomic Habits” by James Clear by Lea Schullery
One strategy that can help you build good habits is known as temptation bundling. This technique involves pairing an activity you want to do with one you need to do. By combining these two tasks, you can make the unwanted activity more enjoyable. For example, you might pair watching your favorite TV show with going to the gym. This way, you can only watch your show while you are at the gym. This method allows you to create a positive association with the task you need to do. By linking it to something you enjoy, you can motivate yourself to complete the necessary task. Temptation bundling works by harnessing the power of immediate gratification. When you pair a task you want to do with one you need to do, you can trick your brain into thinking that the necessary task is actually enjoyable. This can help you build positive habits in the long run. The key to temptation bundling is finding the right pair of activities that work for you. Consider what tasks you enjoy and what tasks you need to do. By combining these activities, you can make it easier to stick to your habits. Temptation bundling can help you overcome procrastination and build healthy habits. So next time you find yourself struggling to complete a task, try pairing it with something you enjoy. This simple technique can help you create lasting habits and reach your goals.
