How to trick your own brain with the M&M tactic
That's why I invented the M&M tactic.
It works like this:
Imagine you have a bag of M&M's in front of you.
You think to yourself: "I'll only eat one chocolate drop."
But will it stay that way?
No.
We usually keep snacking until the bag is empty.
This is exactly how you should write your book.
"I'll just write one greece telegram screening paragraph."
This is seductively easy for your brain. There will be no resistance to it.
But what happens?
You keep writing and writing.
And so you don't just get to a paragraph, but a page or more.
Then something very important happens in your brain:
You have a sense of achievement.
Dopamine is released because you have achieved even MORE than you set out to do.
The result?
You repeat this activity because your brain is always seeking dopamine.
