Procrastinating the actions used to procrastinate. Forcing a repetitive pattern you think is positive.
I'm extremely bad at routines while wanting them.
> hierarchy of needs, not Maslow, like eat, sleep, drink water, bathroom, shower. Fresh air, communicate.
An example:
Decide to make 1 homemade meal, 1 night a week. It may take all week to make that meal. But looking up recipes gives a structure for time and decisive action. Figure out the prep and do it.
Say spaghetti and meatballs. You can start with a jar and a box of pasta to boil. Going forward break that down to where it's vegetables and flour. Then you end up with a homemade meal that began as a box and a jar. It could take 6 months. It slowly builds determination with a goal and some kind of scheduled organization.
This could work with anything. Shooting a 3 pointer, or stealing a neighbors apples for pie, making friends with a DND or mahjong group, or winning a holiday casserole competition. Maybe cookie bakes. Even just being able to touch your toes or sit in mindfulness for 10 minutes.
There is no point to anything until we decide it should be something that is ourself. And that can change.
