Do the thing you keep avoiding! Have a task that’s been sitting on your brain like a browser tab you can’t close? Or a project you keep moving to the next day? Or the goal you keep planning out… but never quite do the steps that get you there? Learn how to train your inner system to move through friction so you don’t feel like you’re forcing motivation or berating yourself to be more disciplined. This is a 1-hour coffee meetup that blends light networking with a guided, structured, immediately-useful, micro-journaling session (no “dear diary” energy!). You’ll learn a few science-backed, under-5-minute writing tools that help lower friction, interrupt procrastination loops, and start the thing - even when you don’t feel “ready.” What we’ll do [ml][ul][li indent=0 align=left]Quick hellos + connection + settle in with a beverage[/li][li indent=0 align=left]A short breakdown of what’s really happening in the brain when you avoid tasks (and why willpower fails)[/li][li indent=0 align=left]A set of micro-journaling prompts you can reuse any time you’re stuck:[/li][ul data=1][li indent=1 align=left]start the task without needing the “perfect mood”[/li][li indent=1 align=left]interrupt spirals, avoidance loops, and overwhelm[/li][li indent=1 align=left]convert “I should…” into a clear next action[/li][/ul][li indent=0 align=left]Wrap with networking + optional co-working for anyone who wants to stay a few minutes longer in this awesome location.[/li][/ul][/ml] The Location Nectar Coffee is a newer local coffee shop that shares space with Eppig Brewing on San Diego Bay in Pt Loma.
