Journaling and Self-Reflection to Combat Novelty Seeking
Journaling provides a method to analyze the psychological motivations behind being tempted by new projects, such as seeking novelty or avoiding discomfort. Asking specific questions about the consequences of saying yes or no to a "shiny object" helps reveal patterns of behavior that hold back progress. This process allows individuals to recognize when they are choosing easy tasks over the necessary stretching required to finish difficult work.
