#### Well defined tasks negate the need for the use of the limited supply of will power --- When tasks are well defined and well structured with atomized components^[[[With poor executive function even activities you would like to do become difficult to approach]] ] allowing for incremental work, this allows for - a work pace of quick iteration - easier context switching The smaller the tasks are, the less friction there is to getting started. So breaking them down to lower the startup friction makes it easier to combat the inhibition one feels when confronted by large tasks. [[Tasks that are not atomized and cannot be finished in a single step are projects]]. Another critical component to reducing the startup cost of willpower is to have a well established environment conducive to the work you are trying to complete^[[[A well established environment makes reliance on self control discipline and willpower unnecessary]]].
