Productivity
Commitment
Worksheet

Productivity problems rarely need new systems. They need honest confrontation with existing habits. Most people can describe exactly what they do instead of what they intend to do. The gap is not information - it is commitment.

The "I used to... / I will no longer... / Because I will..." structure forces three separate moves in sequence: name the old pattern clearly, make a direct commitment to stop it, and replace it with something specific enough to actually do. Vague intentions don't change behavior. Specific commitments do.

Writing down a commitment creates a different kind of accountability than thinking one. The act of completing each sentence stem requires you to get concrete - you can't finish the third stem with a vague goal. That pressure is the point.
