Here are some key takeaways from this episode: 

A Forcing Function is an activity that creates a desired outcome

“My practical use of a forcing function is about engaging in an activity or making a commitment that forces a desirable outcome as a consequence.”

I recommend regular activities that are publicly accountable

“The forcing functions that work for me are specific, they involve public accountability and they involve a regular activity”

Even if no one cares.. the forcing function still works

“Remember my examples.

No one listens to this podcast.. I’m still sharing my thoughts every week.

No one comes to the book club. I’m still developing insights.

No one reads what I write. I’m still improving my writing”
