~ END PROCRASTINATION AND BUILD GOOD HABITS ONE MINI STEP AT A TIME ~
"The single most important technique..." - Harvard instructor Tal Ben-Shahar
With the Mini Steps app you can easily overcome procrastination and tackle long-postponed projects, or you can break through resistance and create good habits.
Finishing overdue projects or starting good habits is hard because we face a barrier of psychological resistance. The problem with most techniques and apps is that they rely on pumping up our motivation to surmount this barrier. These approaches are difficult because they fight against our human nature, and the motivation they generate fades quickly.
The Mini Steps approach, however, doesnt rely on building motivation. It removes the resistance barrier rather than trying to overcome it. And it works with our human nature rather than struggling against it. Popular Harvard lecturer Tal Ben-Shahar, Ph.D., said that this tactic is the single most important technique to emerge from research on procrastination.
Once youve created a few key habits using the Mini Steps method, other positive habits come easily.
