But before I can share it with you, here’s some context you need:
See, if you’ve been on my list for any reasonable amount of time, you’ll probably know I’m big on bouldering. I try to go bouldering at least once a week… unless I’ve got injuries and my physical therapist forbids me to.
Anyway.
Last week I finally got myself a hangboard—a wooden training instrument with specific sized holes to train yourself to hang on to small ledges with anywhere from all 5 to 2 fingers per hand.
A great and useful tool.
In my case, I mounted it above the door of my room where I work, read, sleep, relax, and more than occasionally waste some time—I’m in there a lot.
I also enter and leave a lot, whether it’s to get something to drink, to eat, to go to the toilet, to go on a walk, to the gym, talk to people, whatever it is.
So my new lifehack?
Simple.
Every time I either enter or leave through my door I have to use the hangboard at least once.
It’s the easiest thing ever. It takes all but 5 seconds and it’s always “on the way” to whatever I want to do.
The result?
I get tons of practice and training in without even thinking about it, let alone even realizing I’m “training”.
Now I don’t know how this might be useful in your life, but what I do know is that you could use this same strategy to force yourself to write a small opening line (or a subject line) to an email everytime you think of an idea and want to write it down.
You want to write it down anyway, so why not practice creating more curiosity in your writing?
Anyway.
