I finally hacked my own brain!
I have to share this because it’s been a total game-changer for my routine. For a long time, I struggled with 45-minute cycling sessions. If I’m being honest, I’d get bored/distracted halfway through, and the mental "start-up dread" of facing such a long block made it hard to even get on the bike.
Then I discovered the stack function, and it shifted everything.
Now, I stack 3-5 10-minute workouts instead of one long grind. It sounds simple, but the impact has been huge:
- The Mental Hurdle is Gone: 10 minutes feels easy to start, which kills the procrastination.
- Intensity Over Boredom: I actually find doing 4 "mini" workouts more challenging and engaging than a single 45-minute one. I’m pushing harder because the finish line is always in sight.
I’ve applied this same "think small" logic to my evenings with a 10–20 minute sleep meditation right when I hit the pillow. The data doesn’t lie—my sleep scores have never been higher! 😴
If you’ve been feeling stuck or bored with your routine, I highly recommend giving stacking a try!
