LPT Put a “friction tax” on anything you want to do less of, and remove friction from anything you want to do more of

Productivity

It sounds simple, but it’s shockingly effective.
If you want to read more, leave the book open on your pillow.
If you want to stop doom‑scrolling, log out so it takes 10 seconds to get back in.
If you want to cook more, pre‑chop one thing the night before.
If you want to stop snacking, put the snacks on a high shelf.

Most people try to change their willpower.
It’s much easier to change the environment by 5%.

Tiny friction changes beat motivation every time.
