I do my homework outside in freezing cold weather. No, I'm not joking. So I've got these biology reading guides for class. Basically just a bunch of questions I have to answer from the textbook. Normally, this would take me like 3 hours. Maybe more if I'm distracted. But I found this weird strategy that lets me finish it in an hour. Here's what I do: I grab my laptop, walk outside to my backyard, and sit there in the freezing cold. Like, winter evening freezing. The kind where your feet go numb and you want to cry. And I just... work. My feet are ice. My fingers barely move. Every part of me is screaming to go back inside, wrap myself in a blanket, and give up. But I don't. I sit there and push through. And here's why this works: Cold exposure kills distractions. When you're freezing, your brain stops thinking about everything else. It can't afford to. You might've noticed this in cold showers. The second that water hits you, your thoughts just... vanish. Your brain goes quiet. That's exactly what happens when I sit outside in the cold. No thoughts about Minecraft. No urge to scroll TikTok. No distractions at all. Just me and the work in front of me. And because of that? I fly through it. 3 hours of work done in 1 hour. Every time. Is it uncomfortable? Hell yeah. But that's the point. When you make yourself uncomfortable, you eliminate the space for distractions to even exist. Your brain has one job: survive. And in that moment, finishing the work is survival. So if you're stuck procrastinating on something, try this. Go outside. Let yourself freeze. And watch how fast you work. Cold kills distractions. Use it.

Newton's second law solved my entire procrastination problem. Let me explain. So I'm sitting at my desk, camera set up, ready to record a video. And I don't want to do it. Like, at all. I'm tired. My brain's foggy. I'm telling myself, "I can just push this to tomorrow." But then I just... hit record. And I start talking. At first, it's shit. My words are stumbling over each other. I'm saying random stuff. I sound like an idiot. But I keep going. And then, 10 minutes in, I pause the recording. And I realize something: I'm not tired anymore. I'm not resisting. I'm actually... enjoying this. I had entered a flow state without even noticing. And that's when it clicked. ▶ Newton's second law: An object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an external force. The reason you procrastinate isn't because the task is hard. It's because you're not even moving yet. You're stuck. At rest. And objects at rest stay at rest unless acted on by some other force. So what's the solution? Simple. Get in motion. But here's the trick — you don't need some huge push. You don't need to psych yourself up or wait for motivation. You just need a tiny push... something that I call the minimum viable action (MVA). Let's say you have to write an essay. Don't write the essay. Instead, just type your name at the top of the page. Got 20 math problems to finish? Don't solve them. Just write down the formula you'll need to use. That's it. Because once you do that one tiny thing, the ball starts rolling. And once it's rolling? It just keeps on going, bro. That's the beauty of it. Starting is the hardest part. But once you're in it, it's so easy to keep going. So next time you're procrastinating, don't think about the whole task. Just do the smallest possible action. Open the doc. Write one sentence. Solve one problem. Get the ball rolling. Physics doesn't lie, bro.
