> Part of the activation energy required to start any task comes from the picture you get in your head when you imagine doing it. It may not be that going for a run is actually costly; but if it feels costly, if the picture in your head looks like a slog, then you will need a bigger expenditure of will to lace up.

I have found AI to help me with overcoming that activation energy. I am re-learning to code, writing articles, learning aspects of marketing that I wanted to do, but it felt too hard. Having AI as a step by step tutor overcomes that activation energy for me.
