SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Decompose vague aversions into specific sub-aversions that can be addressed directly, enabling clearer planning and more reliable follow-through.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decomposition: Breaks down an aversion into its smallest contributing sub-aversions.
  • Button Test & Prioritization: Validates which sub-aversions actually block action and prioritizes fixes.
  • External vs Internal Fixes: Recommends concrete environmental changes or reframing strategies for each blocker.
  • Use Case: If you dislike going to the gym, map sub-aversions like time, self-consciousness, and equipment, then apply targeted fixes to reduce the overall aversion.

Quick Start

Describe a current aversion and walk through its sub-aversions to identify actionable fixes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down a vague aversion into actionable steps?

To break down a vague aversion, you decompose it into its smallest contributing sub-aversions. This structured decomposition reveals specific blockers in daily tasks, enabling clearer planning and reliable follow-through.

What is the best way to identify which sub-aversions are actually blocking my action?

The best way to identify blocking sub-aversions is applying a button test to validate them. This process tests which specific environmental or emotional blockers prevent action, allowing you to prioritize targeted fixes.

How do I address emotional resistance and personal habits that cause aversions?

You address emotional resistance by categorizing fixes into external environmental changes and internal reframing strategies. This categorization guides you to apply targeted interventions for each mapped blocker in real-life scenarios.

When do I need to decompose an aversion instead of trying to push through it directly?

You need to decompose an aversion when vague emotional resistance prevents reliable follow-through in daily tasks. Mapping sub-aversions reveals concrete action steps, transforming a general dislike into addressable components.

Does this aversion decomposition method work for complex personal habits like going to the gym?

Yes, aversion decomposition works for complex personal habits like going to the gym by mapping sub-aversions such as time, self-consciousness, and equipment. You then apply targeted fixes to reduce the overall aversion.
