The friction removal principle is probaly the most underrated part of this. People think they need more willpower when what they realy need is to redesign their enviroment. Your examples with the train time and app placement show how small structural changes create compounding returns without any additional effort. Its like setting up dominoes instead of pushing individual pieces.
It sounds like it should be a common sense, but unfortunately, it is not. We grind instead of understanding the concept first. It was also an issue with the school system (I grew up in Russia), where teachers stressed out so much about us memorizing information, instead of starting with a profound understanding.
Thank you for all those great tips! I'm going to practice them on my kids and myself :)
Tobias, I am inspired by your productivity, and especially appreciated the tip of using entertainment as a means for production when you watch anything on tv in Japanese! I'll have to apply some of this to my own life going forward.
wow , these technics sound so cool and sophisticated and I'm going to pick up a few cause I think they can add to my own learning toolkit, thanks for sharing
Hi Tobias, your posts speak to me, and I’ve found your advice genuinely helpful. Would you be able to ever speak 1:1 for a coaching type thing? Thank you!
this is such a clear, system-level breakdown of something most people treat like a personality trait rather than a trainable skill.
Thank you, Tulipe!

Thank you, Leslie!
Great, #6 is essential in my opinion. Seek feedback, use it and keep learning - words and feedback, even criticism, are all gifts if you use them.
Thanks for your comment, Nicole!
