Turn the goal into one sentence: if X happens, then I will do Y. If it is seven a.m., then I put on my running shoes. That is the entire technique, and it takes two minutes to write. What it does is pre-decide the trigger, which takes daily willpower out of the equation — you are no longer choosing at the moment you are least equipped to choose. The trigger has to be a specific event, not a mood and not a time of day you keep renegotiating. agegen.ai. Generate your prime age! ~~ Mr. Age
