I use mini-pomodoro to build momentum when I can’t get started. Start with 2-3 minutes “work”, 1 minute break. Keep bumping those up toward 25/5. Usually by the time I’ve done a few rounds, I don’t want a break and I’ve got my momentum, and I ditch the cycles and just work. This works surprisingly well for me even at a micro level, like exercise 10 seconds, break for 5 seconds, repeat. Before I know it I’m just exercising uninterrupted for 20 minutes. I left out one part: clap for yourself The process is more like: * Pick something * Do it * Clap for yourself * Repeat And the key is to make “do it” as small as necessary to keep the cycle going, then expand it once the human reward system takes over.
