I was recently reading an article about how important it is to "design the default" and combined with this article, I feel like I have seriously upgraded my motivation game. If I practice being mindful of the reasons I do want to do something, it will become easier to work in that manner. Our brains are fantastic in that they are able to send us on crazy adventures when we aren't actively engaging it, but we can really unlock a ton of potential by mindful willpower. Neural connections for a specific skill can get stronger and more diverse when we work at it often, so we can build quite a motivation machine with the right mental exercises. Thank you so much for sharing this tool, @khaleelkazi!

And @sistem, you and I had the exact same reaction, that question caught me off guard and that's how I know how much I needed to read this today.
