Jim Kwik explains Dr. BJ Fogg's micro-commitment approach: start with the smallest possible action, like flossing one tooth instead of your whole mouth. Your brain is more likely to keep going once you begin, building momentum to finish the full task.

For smashing procrastination is make micro-commitments. Dr. BJ Fogg, head of the behavioral psychology lab at Stanford University, talks about tiny habits. What's the smallest amount of behavior you could do right now to get that result? If you want to floss your teeth, just commit to flossing one tooth. Because if you floss one tooth, what's going to happen? You're not going to stop there. You're going to go to the second, third, and all of a sudden you're done.
