Record the bugs Minimum action: Strike a note in Todoist, as is, albeit drafted (note: I always have Todoist on hand).
Yoda Timer Minimal action: Start a timer on your phone.
PTD/TAP Minimal action: Whenever you think of adding a repetitive thing to your life, give yourself 30-60 seconds and answer the question, “What is the simplest thing I can do regularly in this area?” For example: - To get accustomed to reading, is it ok for me to read at least one paragraph a day? - To pump up my English, is it normal to watch one 10-20 minute TEDx talk in the original every morning?
Design Minimal action: Once you notice that you are not happy with something in your environment or on your computer or phone, then answer yourself the question, “Can I fix it in 1-2 minutes?”. And if the answer is, “Yes!” then just do it.
Factorization of Avoidance Minimal action: When you notice that you don’t feel like doing the same thing over and over again, then think for 10-30 seconds, “Why don’t I want to? Is something scary going to happen? Or does this deed not seem meaningful?”
Avoidance Factorization Minimum action: When you notice that you don’t feel like doing the same thing over and over again, then reflect for 10-30 seconds, “Why don’t I want to? Is something scary going to happen? Or does this deed not seem meaningful?”
Belief in sunk costs Minimal action: When you feel like quitting, remember how you washed your lids for a week (clarification: this was my “homework” on restoring my belief in sunk costs).
Time Calibration Minimum action: At the beginning of any task, give yourself 5-10 seconds and intuitively estimate how long that task will take. At the end of the task, look at the actual time taken and remember your prediction. How different is it from reality?
Murphyjitsu Minimal action: Take exactly 1 minute to think of one possible cause of failure and immediately think of how you can prevent it or reduce its likelihood or deal with its consequences cheaply.
Push where effective Minimum action: Give yourself 5 seconds and then intuitively, from System 1, suggest where to push where it would be most effective.
Search for new things in the past Minimal action: When you learn something new and are about to apply it, whether you are reading or being told, take exactly 5-10 seconds to think: Have you done something similar before?
Cancel superstition Minimum action: When you have successfully completed System 1, intuitively answer the question, “Which of my actions or habits contributed most to this victory?”
Focusing Minimal action: For five seconds, notice where in the body something has contracted, where a chill, a tingling sensation has appeared.
TDT for people Minimal action: Say to yourself, “Next time it will be 10% easier.”
Friendship Minimal action: Just think: Who could be on a call with you while you solve this problem? Diman? Someone from the learning chat rooms? Or a programmer? Maybe my girlfriend?
Silence Minimum action: When you feel dreary and seem to want to “go nowhere” and not experience anything at all, just let your thoughts roam free—don’t hold them back. You don’t have to write them down, just let them wander and express whatever they want. Promise the thoughts that you won’t judge them—they can speak freely.
Inner root of disagreement (IFS) Minimal action: Give yourself 30-60 seconds and name as many body sensations and your feelings about this situation as you can.
Reductionism Minimum action: Give yourself 10-30 seconds and intuitively, from System 1, answer the question, “What is the ONE skill behind this case? (meaning: ‘ONE of the skills’)”″ For example: - What one skill (one of) lies behind the ability to argue and defend your point of view? (in person, in voice, not online in text) - What one skill lies behind writing music?
