for the ones whose mornings start with 'I'll do it later' and never do
Goal
Beat procrastination by making the morning study rep so small it's harder to avoid than to do.
Source principle
The 2-minute rule as anti-procrastination: procrastinators fear the size of the task, not the task itself; shrink it until starting is trivial. : from Atomic Habits by James Clear.
The plan

- 📖7:04-7:05 AMOpen the textbook to yesterday's page: already bookmarked.
- ✏️7:05-7:07 AM2-min rep: one flashcard or one problem. Stop at 2 min.
- ✅7:07-7:08 AMMark X. The day's study is done.
- 🗣️7:08-7:09 AMSay aloud: 'I already studied today'. The procrastination loop is broken.
- ☕7:09-7:15 AMCoffee reward, earned before the day starts.
- 📓7:15-7:20 AMLog: '2-min win before 8 AM', done.
