Become a noun

Identity is a cognitive shortcut that helps our brains make otherwise difficult choices in advance. Use this to your advantage, especially if you have a propensity to get in your own way.

But choose your identities wisely. Make sure they are aligned with your values and who you'd like to be. Otherwise, they can act as shortcuts to counterproductive behavior.

Something to try. If you're already aligning your time with your values, try attaching an identity to that time. You may find a new one. Or you may find one that isn't serving you well.
