Love this framing! The microwave as accountability partner is such a clever insight. I've been trying habit stacking for mornign routines but never considered those dead waiting times. Remidns me of an old productivity hack about making awkward pauses productive, but this feels way more humane and less about squeezing efficiency from everysecond.
That’s it exactly! Interestingly, I was just on with a client who is taking a very similar approach. Instead of doing more “productive” stuff while the microwave does its job, she is celebrating doing nothing while the microwave does its thing. We could probably all use more commitment to restoration right now
