I tried this and it worked (did some pushups, some pullups, and sent an email I had been procrastinating on). I’m still worried about it leading to some weird compensatory reaction down the line so I don’t think I want to do it too often. Although if meditators do it and it results in them getting better at it then maybe I’m totally wrong and this is just amazing.
I think the most likely compensatory reaction is that you just find yourself unwilling to start the process of micro-intending in the first place. That’s how my brain usually dodges out of stuff like this. “Oh, you think Pomodoros are a good idea that works for you? Enjoy completely forgetting that technique exists!”

Thanks for trying it.
