Ken's comment about demand avoidance

Love the monthly Community News shows. Ken's comment about resisting the demands of his past self from reminders apps struck a chord with me. I've been struggling with PDA (persistent/pathological demand avoidance) myself. I'll record a response show to summarize some things I've learned from other podcasts that help boost my intrinsic motivation -- things like random rewards (to prevent external rewards from swamping your intrinsic motivation dopamine high). Dave's idea to use rituals and habits is also something that sometimes works for me. Rely admire the high quality open source technical infrastructure that keeps this community thriving and the supportive vibe of all the hosts and contributors. It gives me hope for the future of social media and the Internet.
