The always-be-moving-forward trick for getting out of bed and getting good grades

My trick for getting out of the bed is to keep moving. One leg out of the blanket, then one arm, then the other leg. And so on. You will be out of the bed before you know it. Same trick works for studying super boring topics at university. Sit down, start making progress. Don’t evaluate if you feel like it.

The subtle part: just like in soccer penalties¹, you never stop moving. No matter how slow, you keep going.

This is related to the no days off principle. If something feels expensive to do, you will do it less. That’s demand and utilization. Make it cheap, and it can even be fun if you talk yourself into it.

Also, put the phone far away from you.
