If I can start looking backwards with gratitude, that's the fastest way to make discipline dopamine generating. So, the tricks are to start small.
When I go to bed at night, I will pop open the little curig coffee thing and stick the thing in there, put a cup under there. Everything's like ready to go. I'll get my clothes out, everything kind of lined up, ready to put on for the next day. I'm lowering the threshold of how much attention I'm spending.
So, I'm going to set my life up in every single way that I possibly can as if I were a butler for future me. So, when I wake up in the morning, all this stuff set out, my checklist for what I need to do for the day, all the stuff I'm got to get on a plane is all laid out by the back door. I can grab it and jump in the car. Everything that I could possibly do to make my future self go, "Oh, man, that's awesome." And look backwards with gratitude.
I'll take a $100 bill every spring or summer and I'll stick them in the a jacket pocket that I'm not going to use until the winter and I'll forget about it. And in the winter, I'm I'm looking and now I become a source of dopamine. Past tense me is becoming a source of dopamine for present tense.
