  Hi, Justin, I am a huge fan. As a CBT therapist with a background in Applied Behavior Analysis, I appreciate that you brought up the &quot;cue&quot; part of habits/behavior in the fourth topic. However, I have a consideration to make: the &quot;trigger&quot; for a behavior has little to do with actually maintaining the behavior. It is the consequences of the behavior that maintain it or not. One can remove distractors and put their shoes next to the door as a trigger to walk but rarely commit to walking if, when they do, this action doesn&apos;t have reinforcing consequences (that is, if it doesn&apos;t feel good intrinsically or extrinsically - like if someone thinks that &quot;despite not being enjoyable, by walking, I accomplished my goal, and that feels good&quot;). <br><br>One&apos;s behavior cannot be reinforced if they don&apos;t act (there are no consequences, positive or negative, for an action you don&apos;t perform). But environment modifications, rules, and self-rules (strategies your video is suggesting) can definitely help one start acting and, therefore, have contact with enjoyable, reinforcing, consequences that actually maintain the behavior!

  A goal without a system is just a dream.

  Love how you break down these videos. You go into real life emotions in depth and somehow answer all the daily questions we ask ourselves. Great video

  My biggest &apos;aha&apos; moment was realizing that needing something desperately actively pushes it away. I struggled with this for years until I read the 41 Laws of Simulation. It breaks down &apos;Radical Detachment&apos;, how to desire the outcome intensely but remain completely unbothered if it doesn&apos;t happen. The second I dropped the desperate energetic grip, everything I was trying to manifest just showed up

  I don&apos;t know what to say because your method boosted my grades significantly. Believe it or not, last month I had an exam, and I crammed for only 3 hours. I ended up getting an A-.

  I totally agree that this system works. I discovered this myself in my early uni years - luckily! &nbsp;Most importantly, don&apos;t overload your PFC: make a list of what needs to be done the next day &nbsp;so that I don&apos;t have to go to my desk and wonder what do I need to do. I don&apos;t think about it. I just open my notebook look at my list of &nbsp;ridiculously achievable tasks for the night and do them. Sometimes I do have to modify that list but that&apos;s ok too, just shift to the next day. No deep planning involved, just following a system. It is powerful and effective.

  The &quot;if X, then Y&quot; framework is such a practical way to reduce decision fatigue. Simple, but I can see how it adds up over time.
