Hip-shot hypothesis: The productivity literature audience is overwhelmingly intelligent people with untreated ADD & ADHD.
If you consistently need to trick yourself into reading a page of a book there are probably deeper issues that won't be fixed by: "Eat more vegetables → Eat an apple". Hip-shot hypothesis: The productivity literature audience is overwhelmingly intelligent people with untreated ADD & ADHD.

I'd add anxiety (GAD or things like that) to the list.

I disagree, it's possible to find hacks to change your own behavior and even how your body works, these hacks can then turn into habits and long-lasting behavior.

For things like work projects, this is a good approach for me: Sometimes I find myself putting off beginning something because it's a big project and I don't have it all figured out yet. But once I catch myself in that cycle, I start on the preliminary work, get into a groove, and (unlike the pushups) things get easier as I go.
That said, I did just interrupt a (relatively small) project to come here and see what's going on today.

On the other hand, sometimes the "small step" backfires on me, psychologically: I eat the apple as the small step to eating healthier. Then, later in the day, I feel good about myself for eating healthier and decide to have a few cookies as a reward.

I would never think to do that and on mobile have accidentally hit it while trying to do other things and been thoroughly confused how I got there or what led me there. It seems like it would be reasonable to make each of its function into a specific link above each comment. I don't think it would make the UI too much more cluttered, personally.
OK, rant over.
