3/ 💡 Low ability = Procrastination. When a task feels too difficult or time-consuming, we're less likely to do it. This aligns with Fogg's "Ability" element. The less able we feel, the more likely we are to procrastinate.

5/ 📋 Learning to code? Try and break your learning into micro tasks and time periods; "Watch a 10-min intro video," "Code a 'Hello World'," and "Complete one coding exercise." Smaller tasks = Less daunting = Higher ability.

6/ 🚀 Add a Trigger. Use alarms, reminders, or a study buddy to remind you to start your simplified tasks. These triggers initiate the behavior, aligning with Fogg's "Trigger" component.
