Packing my lunch takes 5 minutes, which isn’t actually much. Not long enough to be telling myself, “I don’t have time to bring my lunch.” (I timed it, while heating my leftover coffee: 3x coffee-heating-time.)

Mowing the backyard now takes 30 minutes. This (a) moves it out of the “Good gracious, I must plan ahead” range; (b) puts it within plausible procrastination target range. So far I’m barely not-mowing today.
