I have done various forms of the weekly review for years, but the “review” part of it always slid away in the face of planning for the next week.

Podcast Episode 79: Lowering Resistance
One form of procrastination that I fight frequently is what I call Newton Procrastination: a body at rest will remain at rest. It’s the main reason I can’t get moving on things. And the key to fighting this is to make the barrier to motion so small that it takes almost no effort to get past it. We’ll talk about this today in Episode 79: Lowering Resistance.
