Trigger-action plans are a very cool technique for actually changing your behavior. In some sense these are an extreme form of acting NOW — once installed, they are an automatic pattern of behavior. This post is an attempt to help me install some TAPs. I’ll write down the TAPs that I’ve installed / am installing and reflect a bit on successes and failures of the system.
| tag | trigger | action |
|---|---|---|
| TAP1 | sit down at table with other people | start talking |
TAP1 did not work very well. I think it was too ambitious and maybe didn’t work well in every situation, so I didn’t consistently apply it, and so every time I’d have to think about whether to apply it (assuming I even remembered). #todo: come up with a better version of TAP1.
