How I Tricked Myself into Getting Things Done

You know how we trick ourselves into "just one more episode" or "just one more scroll", and suddenly hours have vanished?
Lately, I thought why not use that on myself for something good...
These past two weeks, I set a goal to run 5 miles every morning.
Some days, like today, I felt lazy, wanted to stay in bed, but I told myself I'd at least go for a walk... Next thing I know, I'm running, feeling amazing, even beating my best times...
Here's the thing.
If we can fool ourselves into procrastinating, why not flip it for productivity?
Try saying "just one line of code", "just one tutorial", "just one rep", "just one page to read"... and see where it takes you.
We've all got this incredible mental tool of "self-deception"we've been sharpening it for years.
Maybe it's time we use it for good, not just for killing time
