Everyday life

What if tomorrow’s good intention needs a better place to land?

Prepare one small choice before you need to make it.

LushClover · 02

Tonight, the plan feels obvious.

Tomorrow you’ll go for a walk, bring lunch, or spend a little time reading.

Tomorrow also contains a missing shoe, a late start, and a phone full of other plans.

LushClover · 03

Choose one point of friction.

The shoes are buried. The lunch container is dirty. The book is in another room.

What could you make easier now, without redesigning your life?

LushClover · 04

Let the surroundings help.

NIH guidance on habits describes noticing cues and preparing practical plans for change.

A useful question is: what will remind you of the choice when the moment arrives?

LushClover · 05

Set up the smallest version.

Put the book beside the chair. Choose a safe route. Prepare the container.

Make one intended action a little more available to your future self.

LushClover · 06

Notice what actually happens.

If the setup doesn’t help, adjust it. Perhaps the timing was wrong, or the action was still too large.

You are learning about your day, not proving a theory about willpower.

LushClover · 07

Help tomorrow-you before you go.

Choose one thing to put in reach tonight.

A good intention is easier to find when you have left it somewhere real.

Stay a little longer

Another thought to take with you.

You can go for a walk without turning it into a project. ↗You don’t have to be talented to enjoy something. ↗The harder you try to sleep, the more it feels like a test. ↗
