Things to Consider
Maintaining multiple blocks and working with setbacks
The aim is not to create many habits. The aim is to choose habits that are: small, supportive, sustainable.
"Setbacks aren't failures. They're information about what your structure needs."
HOW TO BUILD A SUPPORTIVE HABIT
Choose one habit that:
• Takes less than 5 minutes
• Fits into your existing routine
• Supports wellbeing
Attach it to something you already do:
• After brushing teeth
• Before meals
• At the end of the workday
Lower the bar. Success comes from repetition.
IF CONSISTENCY FEELS HARD
If habits feel difficult:
• Reduce the habit further
• Remove pressure
• Focus on returning, not perfect streaks
• Expect disruption
Consistency does not mean "every day". It means "most days, over time".
