# Momentum
## Notes
Momentum is a matter of (Supported:: [[Consistency]]) and (Component:: [[Contextual synergy|Timing]]), to able to move forward not through the strength of determination but rather by a sense of (Related:: [[Flow]]). It is a form of (Similar:: [[Effort Storing]]), that by making a small initial investment, we can create a force that will propel us in the future without any additional effort (Related:: [[compounding]]). The key is to be (Related:: [[Friction|frictionless]]) as possible.
It seems that the best way to have momentum, is to lower (Related:: [[Expectations]]) and (Related:: [[Start Small]]). Once the action we want to do is not a huge commitment as it seemed, and even just a few minutes is enough, it lowers the psychological barriers of doing it. And once we start the ball rolling, the momentum is generated by itself through the process of (Aka:: [[Habit formation|Habituation]]).
Momentum can unfortunately be negative. If we persist with negative behavior, the inertia itself will become a barrier for change, a type of (Related:: [[Path Dependence]]), and cause us to be stuck in a (Jump:: [[negative cycle]]).
