Stick the magnet to the freezer door (standard fridge models). The best location would be more towards the side of the fridge door hinge. The end of the fishing string should be placed on the hinge side of the fridge door, intersecting the bottom corner of the freezer door. This will cause strain when opening the fridge door but will relax when the freezer door opens. Mark the end point on the fishing string with a sharpie.. To attach the end of the string to the fridge door, make a bunch of knots (about 7) at the same point. Use a hot glue gun to squeeze glue over the knotted mess. Use heavy duct tape and stick the knotted end to the fridge door.

Depending on how your fridge door opens, the placement of the fishing string will vary. The goal is to secure it to a place so that the most it will pull is a little more than an inch. Experiment around!

The arc movement of the fridge door based on its hinge pulls the fishing string when the arc's angle is increased. The pulling of the string pulls down the lip of the lid, pulling forth the peekaboo message as well as pulling down the yellow slide inside the box.

Write yourself a post-it message on the bear's belly and let the will-power motivator work its magic!
