Unlock the Surprising Secret to Staying Inspired While Writing Through the Holidays

“Ridiculously Easy”

If you want to create a habit, start out ridiculously easy. As an example, suppose you wanted to create a habit of working out every day. First write down what your ultimate goal is. Maybe you write “I want to do 50 pushups every day.” Then set a time every day when you’re going to work out, maybe 4 PM. Create an alarm on your phone for 4 PM, with the notation “Do pushups.”

Then on the first day, when your alarm goes off, DO NOT do 50 pushups. 

Just do 1

That’s right, one measly pushup on your first day. And repeat that for the entire first week. Don’t cheat and do more!
