Applies to all sorts of habit building. I focused wrongly on the bottom layer. ^244540521 ##### ^244540522 Goto: https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/536347475355783170 ###### ^244540522q 4/ What you want is get to the peak as fast as possible.

Hit the peak, unlock energy ^244540522 ##### ^244540523 Goto: https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/536347713512546304 ###### ^244540523q 5/ what is the peak? In writing, it's shipping/publishing sth and getting feedback from others, changing your identity / self-perception ^244540523 ##### ^244540524 Goto: https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/536347980316438530 ###### ^244540524q 6/ In cooking, it's making a dish, eating it, smiling and realizing that you liked it.

CRITICAL. ^244540525 ##### ^244540526 Goto: https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/536348666605228032 ###### ^244540526q 8/ Counter-intuitively, this means you should do the minimum research possible. Because more research = inertia, time-cost, expectations ^244540526 ##### ^244540527 Goto: https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/536349077634433024 ###### ^244540527q 9/ I don't mean "go unprepared/uninformed".

That's real leverage. ^244540528 ##### ^244540529 Goto: https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/536351231325646848 ###### ^244540529q 11/ For me personally, "I'm a picky eater / don't know how to cook / have food issues" was a big part of my identity. Today I cooked eggs. ^244540529 ##### ^244540530 Goto: https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/536351354382319616 ###### ^244540530q 12/ They were yummy. ^244540530 ##### ^244540531 Goto: https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1079292887873945601 ###### ^244540531q Picky eater update 4 years later https://t.co/p7LsKXi1O4 ^244540531
