At least a few times a week, Katy’s book pops into my mind because I'm doing something better based on what Katy taught me, including temptation bundling.

Temptation bundling is about combining your favorite activities with tasks you usually avoid – that’s the magic! Whether it’s watching your favorite show while exercising on the treadmill (image above created by DALL·E) or enjoying a special coffee while working on a project, this strategy makes achieving your goals more enjoyable and sustainable.

“Once we understand that part of why we don't pursue our goals and get chores done is because they aren't enjoyable enough and that we can engineer solutions to this by linking temptations, it opens up a whole host of possible ways to be more effective.”
—Katy Milkman

Temptation bundling is just one of the powerful strategies Katy shares. She also provides insights on overcoming psychological barriers to change and the surprising benefits of fresh starts and commitment devices that can help us achieve our goals.

“Change is all about losing who you were and shifting to a new path, and the fact that those kinds of adjustments are psychologically costly is an important part of why we often don’t take the leap.”
—Katy Milkman
