Make it automatic

Habits are built by repetition in the same context, not by willpower.

Start smaller than you think#

Five minutes, or two on a bad day. A habit you do daily beats a workout you dread.

"After my morning coffee, I walk." Set your cue in Your corner and it shows on the timer.

Clear the deck, shoes by the treadmill, safety key clipped on, show queued up.

A streak, a chain of ticked days, or a fridge chart. Seeing progress keeps it going.

Just walk the next day. Missing once barely matters; missing twice starts a new pattern. Streak freezes forgive one missed day a week here.
