It’s so amazing how making it easy to get started is basically priming your brain to complete the task.
I’ve gotten fit by hanging up a chin-up bar on a spare door frame. When I had a trainer, I was always amazed at what I could accomplish - even on days when I swore I felt dead in the morning - just by getting there and starting. I’ve gotten good at coding by keeping my IDEs of choice in the taskbar and working on small tasks during downtime. I study better and more often when I leave out my notebooks and calculator.
The lower you set the barrier to entry, for a given activity, the better a chance you give yourself to actually complete that activity later.
