Change coffee shops (instead of reconfiguring your brain)

June 4, 2021

Check out the full notes for How to Change

January 1st and many many other days can act as good beginnings for fresh starts. But you can also try changing environments.

Yet, unlike calendar dates, these fresh starts don’t contradict the predictions of economic theory, because they actually change our life circumstances—they don’t just shift our perspective.

The big lesson for me: if you happen to be moving between states or countries (with a global pandemic improving, for example), that’s a great time to adjust your routines. You’ll have a fresh set of cues to work with.

If you aren’t, at least find a good coffee shop.

Tool: Change your environment
