What Is the Best Mental Model to Help You Quit?

Annie Duke: One of the best mental models to help you do this is called monkeys and pedestals. If you have decided you want to make money by training a monkey to juggle flaming torches while standing on a pedestal in the town square, you should not build the pedestal first. Why? Because what's the point? I'd like literally like there's no point in building the pedestal if you can't train themonkey to juggle the flaming torches. The pedestal, you should only do after you've already figured out that hard thing first.
