Habits are great because they save us from making countless decisions that sap our energy.
But do you swap one habit for another when the occasion calls for it?
To illustrate my point, an integral part of my morning routine is watching Netflix while folding the laundry. Yes, yes, I know being sucked into mindless entertainment is not the most ideal way to spend my prime hours, but hear me out.
I haven’t been able to listen to any Fountain podcasts for the longest time. It wasn’t for lack of trying, but somehow, Lady Luck has never been on my side. Fortuitously, I was able to earn sats today. For a good 30 minutes, in fact!
For the record, I am a huge fan of Lewis Howes’ podcasts. I think he is doing God’s work by networking with all these gurus in diverse fields and promoting them to share their gems of wisdom.
But if you ask me why I need the extrinsic motivation in the form of sats before I will listen to him, well the simple reason is that I love my Netflix more. Haha.
Over to you. Do you have interchangeable habits?
