Choose one skill, one resource, and one measurable action. This constraint slashes indecision and makes starting effortless. You will know you succeeded when you can demonstrate a result, however modest, without peeking at notes, nudging memory deeper.
Write outcomes you can sense in your fingertips: pronounce a tricky word cleanly, debug a selector that finally matches, recall a formula from scratch. Tangible moments create emotional reinforcement, reinforcing habit loops faster than abstract checklists or vague progress bars.
Limit tabs, time, and scope. Try five links maximum, a countdown timer, and a single input box or code block. Friction disappears, flow appears, and your brain stops negotiating, because the borderlines are obvious, friendly, and completely non-negotiable for the session.
