This is an amazing piece of advice. At the risk of sounding cliche, I would still like to recommend The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. The basic premise of the book is this: The Habit loop is a neurological pattern that governs any habit. It consists of three elements: a cue, a routine, and a reward. Understanding these components can help in understanding how to change bad habits or form good ones.

Alternately, I found Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg to be more actionable and was able to stick a number of new habits using the recommendations from the book.

What new habits have you picked up? I've picked up a few handy ones, but I am running out of ideas, and some were very 'fragile' in that a shift in routine (e.g. a vacation) completely broke the new habit.

Glad you mentioned about this, I was unaware. You seem to have read both, how exactly have you been benefited from Tiny Habits?

Try this for 5 days, it'll give you everything that the book gives you and it is very low commitment.

Also, if you find that it works, you can move on to the book.
