These 3 steps will eliminate those problems once and for all:
1) Auto trigger your new habits
Every new habit requires
• Effort
• Thought
• Discipline
This quickly burns through your willpower.
Making them automatic makes them easier to stick to.
How do we do that?

2) Build conditional logic
Use simple logic like If X, Then Y:
1) IF [something you already do]
2) THEN [perform your new habit]
This system minimizes your effort.
It’s applicable for any habit you want to build.
But, since we aren’t robots, using logic isn’t foolproof.

Reducing your effort is one part of the equation.
Maximizing the chances of you performing the habit is the other.
Here’s how you get as close to auto triggering as possible:

3) Design your environment
Set up your living space so that it:
• Reminds you to do your new habit
• Triggers it multiple times a day
• Makes it easier to do
It handles all the roadblocks to building new habits.
It also gets you as close to auto triggering as possible.

You can adapt this to any situation:
• Doing pushups when entering your room
• Drinking a glass of water when taking a break
• Scheduling app blockers on your laptop during work
You’ll be unstoppable once you learn this skill.
