This project would have gotten precisely nowhere without good habits - plus a sip of stubbornness.
Most people mistakenly believe that to get yourself to do something good daily. You simply have to do it for somewhere between 21 to 66 days for this activity to become automatic behavior.
Well, it doesn't quite work like that.
Everybody who ever tried to exercise, read, eat healthily, publish consistently online - or anything particularly useful for a long period of time. Eventually hits a wall of resistance.
How to go past it?
Climb it. Go around it. Or prevent it from appearing.
For the last one, you can go with tracking your habits.
In one of my recent posts, I share my experience with daily tracking my habits for a full year.
