What They Help With
Techniques give structure to attention when motivation alone is not enough.

A good method lowers the activation energy. It tells you what to do first instead of leaving you in open-ended resistance.
Then use a room to hold the session.
Once the method is clear, ambient accountability helps you stay with it longer than you would on your own.
