🍊
Orange
Effort now that creates value later: learning, planning, movement, meaningful work, or a good conversation.
A simple choice system
Choose what helps tomorrow.
An orange creates future value. A cookie gives a quick reward but little future benefit. A delicious orange does both.

The framework
Three choices. One useful question.

Cookie
A quick reward that can quietly replace what matters. Cookies are not forbidden; they should be intentional.
