Use the “20-Second Rule” to Beat Procrastination

 Want to build a new habit? Or stop a bad one?

Use the 20-Second Rule: make it 20 seconds easier to start a good habit and 20 seconds harder to do a bad one.


Examples:

  • Lay out workout clothes the night before

  • Remove social media apps from your home screen

  • Keep a book next to your bed instead of your phone

This simple shift leverages friction—your brain takes the path of least resistance.

Lower the barrier to entry for positive actions. Raise it for time-wasting ones.

🟢 The Power of Positive Thinking and How It Can Change Your Life

Change doesn’t need to be hard—just 20 seconds smarter.
