Action & Habits
Rather than dramatic overhauls, this section emphasizes consistency through simplicity.
Systems focus on external structures that reduce reliance on motivation and willpower. This section explores how routines, workflows, and environmental design can support daily functioning even on low-energy or low-focus days.
Low-friction habits reduce decision fatigue by externalizing action. When behavior is pre-decided, mental energy is preserved. This increases resilience and reduces emotional volatility. Habits become stabilizers rather than obligations.
