This is sort of vague, but I’d like to see more about whether/how to induce mindset shifts. For example, for decreasing procrastination, there are sort of “quick fix” methods (e.g., blocking websites, creating routines) and others that try to get you to change your mindset or motivations (e.g., Nate Soares’s Replacing Guilt). I’m not sure whether there is any research on how these two broad methods of self-help compare, but I’d be interested to hear. For example, to what extent are these approaches complementary? In the procrastination example, does blocking websites effectively decrease people’s urges to find distractions, inducing a mindset shift, or does it simply cause them to find new distractions?
