30 day writing challenge - Day 9: Creating a new habit - How to force yourself doing something useful everyday?

 

1. Be disciplined, write down what you need to do, how necessary to have it as a habit, how to implement it as a project and follow it.

2. Set it higher priority, at least for 21 days.

3. Try to attach it with an already existed habit: do the one you want to create a habit first and then do the existed habit.

4. Divide it into small bite size piece to make it less scary and more doable.

5. Take note what you achieve when doing it, what you find difficult.

6. Set timer for that, for example: do it at least 10 minutes a day.

7. Set alarm or reminder for that.

8. For the first 21 first days, no compromise for missing it.

9. Set your plan carefully to avoid any conflict between the new habit and the on going one.

10. Take some rest or give yourself a reward when you're done.
