How can you easily start good habits?

.

I think this is an excellent system and it’s worked for me.

The first step is crucial — keep it tiny. Do not be ambitious yet. That leads to failure.

Consistency is what you’re shooting for here so make the hurdle as low as possible.

In fact, make it so low you’ll feel stupid and guilty that you were unable to take the time for something that literally would have taken seconds.

Step two is what triggers the routine and what eventually makes it automatic, so find a natural connection. (“I brush… and now I floss.”)

Give it a shot. I’d love to hear how this works for you.
