Temptation bundling

The strategy is to pair an action you want to do with an axction you need to do.

Based on Premack’s Principle, it states that “more probable behaviors will reinforce less probable behaviors”.

You can even pair it with habit stacking:

1. After I [CURRENT HABIT], I will [HABIT I NEED].
2. After [HABIT I NEED], I will [HABIT I WANT].

Ex:

1. After I get back from my lunch break, I will call three potential clients (need).
2. After I call three potential clients, I will check ESPN (want).
