The Akrasia Effect: Why We Don’t Follow Through on What We Set Out to Do
&quot;Reduce friction to start&quot; is a huge one for me. Especially if &quot;starting&quot; is a bunch of busywork like writing a Dockerfile, initializing a git repo, creating package metadata files, etc. I&#x27;ve found it helpful to just dive in and start writing the &quot;fun&quot; part first and turn it into a &quot;real&quot; project later. Usually after an hour of coding or less I feel I&#x27;ve created something of value that I <i>want</i> to save and reuse so there&#x27;s no motivational problem.
