Going full out on your goals is exciting!
You know what it feels like...
The anticipation when you sense progress. The dopamine-reward when you achieve your result.
But what about when you're in a monotonous routine?
There's no immediate thrill.
Like when you try to workout just because it's "good for you in the long-run".
That doesn't feel motivating, does it?
What happens then?
You procrastinate your fitness with "I'll start next week."
I get it.
And I have a solution.

Dig into a short-term target.
