# The Physics of Productivity \*

I like the idea that Newton's Laws of Motion can be applied to boost productivity.

Because it's true: objects in motion tend to stay in motion.

And that resonates with how consistent habits and subsequent actions create momentum in our lives.

🏃‍♂️ Start and keep moving forward.

Procrastination is the same as how objects at rest stay at rest, and instead of waiting for motivation, I try the 2 minute rule 🕑

Instead of waiting for motivation, you just start on anything tangentially related to your primary task. The power of motion will give you traction

📝 Staring at a blank screen? Try writing random sentences for two minutes and watch how your thoughts begin to flow.

✍️ Struggling with a creative block? Doodle a line on a page and transform it into something unique to spark your creativity.

Motivation comes through action.

Start small and let the law of motion work its magic. Objects in motion tend to stay in motion - and so will your productivity. 🚀
