Lack of Follow-Through on Personal Projects and other Tasks
Without sustained attention, personal dreams stall. Plans remain half-realized. No preconscious setup (Libet), no reinforced circuits (Hebb), no personalized cues (Erickson) leads to unfinished ambitions.
Heuristics Don’t Inspire Persistence
Heuristics like “just be persistent” ignore the need for cognitive frameworks that uphold long-term dedication.
Long-Term Persistence Through Neural Reinforcement
By repeatedly focusing on project elements in designated rooms, anticipating states, and adjusting cues, you hardwire persistence. This surpasses “stay motivated” mottos, enabling tangible follow-through.
