The Significance of the 10-Second Battle
A crucial moment in achieving behavioral change occurs in the brief window of ten seconds before making a decision. This fleeting period can dictate an individual's actions for the next hour, either reinforcing good habits or deteriorating progress. To succeed in this skirmish, it’s essential to recognize that asking oneself whether they feel like doing a task can jeopardize commitment. Eliminating this questioning can help maintain focus and action, as feelings often fluctuate and can distract from established goals.
