optimize your cues + your environment to create + reinforce better habits + discourage your \"not so good\" ones.
Time cues < (paired with another) action cues. \"I will do this at 7 am every single day\" is waaaaay harder to commit to than committing to something with something else, \"I will do this after I do that.\"
Intrinsic motivation > external rewards
Tweak your environment to reduce the friction between you and your desired habit.
Set yourself up for success + visualize it! Don't visualize the work.
