for the ones whose study plans keep dying on tiny friction points
Goal
Run a 15-min Sunday audit that finds and removes the friction points that killed this week's study sessions.
Source principle
Environment design as a weekly habit: low-exec isn't a motivation problem, it's a friction problem; remove the friction weekly. : from Atomic Habits by James Clear.
The plan
- 📓Sun 7:00-7:02 PMOpen this week's study log: what got done, what didn't.
- 🔍Sun 7:02-7:04 PMName the 3 sessions you missed: just the times.
- 🤔Sun 7:04-7:07 PMFor each miss: what was the friction? (phone, no materials, tired, no spot)
- 📝Sun 7:07-7:09 PMPick the single biggest friction point: one, not five.
- 🔄Sun 7:09-7:11 PMFix it now: clear the desk, move the charger, pre-stage materials.
- 🗒️Sun 7:11-7:13 PMWrite the fix on a sticky note: '[friction] removed for next week'.
- 🎯Sun 7:13-7:14 PMPick next week's single priority session: one, locked.
- 🔒Sun 7:14-7:15 PMClose the log: one friction removed, one priority set.
Reward
One fewer friction point next week + a single locked priority
