Date: 16.05.18 Target: 10 minutes Chosen task: Bill flatmates up-to-date (fixed bills) Result: Achieved Observations: Put off till final ½ hour. Once I began it was very easy to get through the 10 minutes (I actually achieved over 16), and I felt a sense of momentum and a desire to continue to task completion as well as the familiar aversion and resistance. However, the aversion and resistance I did feel combined with a sensible rationale—or was it a rationalisation?—that I shouldn’t exceed the nudge target (because “binging” at this stage might increase aversion and resistance in the following days). As a result, I chose not to carry on beyond 16 minutes (and potentially complete the task). Actions: Draft a booster goal that prompts me to start earlier in the day (with earlier-than-midnight deadlines relative to my various shifts and other obligations). Consider implementing this on Stickk. Memorandum: Consider as my ultimate goal a shorter (vs 45 minute) daily urgent work period. (This would minimise resistance and could therefore make consistent daily work more achievable, with all of the “slow and steady” benefits this entails.) |

| Worth adding: it seems as though taking the plunge and putting a stake down has borne fruit. | |

Re: 15.05.18 target (min. 5 minutes). I did it. Began in the last possible five minutes of the day, but I did it. Contemplating some kind of contract to nudge me into doing it earlier in the day. |
