@muninn Similar tactic, for some things I also find the 'just floss one tooth' trick sometimes useful. Trite example, but if you're trying to build up a habit of flossing but's it not going anywhere, just say, alright, just floss one tooth. Break it down into really tiny versions of the bigger habit. The pressure's off, and then quite often you find you end up doing the whole thing anyway once you've started.
