It's funny how these small barriers that create just a bit of extra friction can be enough. The way I keep myself from eating all the leftover Halloween candy? It goes in a box downstairs, and it's taped shut. Out of sight, and the thought of breaking the tape makes it harder to just sneak a handful here and there.

Same goes for things you want to do more of; make it as frictionless as possible and you'll see higher success.

That's how I got back into workout routine. I come home from work and then get ready to go to the gym. Change clothes, get my water, stage my air buds, and make it as easy as possible. Sometimes I sit around for an hour or 2 before heading out, but as soon as I start thinking about it I go.
