Comment on How do I get myself to actually do thing?

try lists. i schedule tasks on my phone.

none of my tasks are big, 20 pushups a day means about 600 a month.

or one step in a larger task, going to a store to see if they have the right fabric for a mosquito net. whether they have it or not, if i go, that’s a task complete. I cross it off the list and now I’m in the process of completing the larger task of making my bug net.

“hey, Google. Remind me every day at 9 am to do 20 push-ups”

or for single tasks “hey Google, remind me in 5 seconds to check daiso for a hammock ridgeline.” I might not do it for four days, but the task is there reminding me that I have something I want to do.

And yesterday daiso hsd a perfect elastic cord, so I got to mark the task complete yesterday and now my hammock has a ridgeline.
