Mental inertia

Mental inertia is the tendency to remain in the current state of action, thinking or avoidance despite available reasons to change.

Definicja

It is a practical concept, close to behavioral inertia, status quo bias and resistance to change. Inertia doesn't always come from laziness; often protects against overload, uncertainty or loss of predictability. It becomes a problem when it keeps a person in a pattern that no longer serves their goals or health.

Praktyka i życie

Instead of planning a big change, design your first move to last less than 5 minutes. The goal is to break the inertia, not to complete the task completely.

Częste błędne rozumienie

It is a mistake to fight inertia with the sole command to "pull yourself together." What is often overlooked is that resistance has a protective function and the entry threshold needs to be reduced.
