So now, you have to brainstorm what habit is it that you want to form, and learn everything you can to make it right.
2. Accessible trigger

3. Easy to implement actions
When incorporate a habit in your daily routine, its best to take baby steps and have low level of commitment. Take a notch or two higher when you are ready to do so. For example, if your goal is to be more punctual, try to get ready 5 minutes earlier than you would usually.
4. A self-reward

This way, the journey in adapting to the new habits are more fun and your determination to complete the task will be stronger. The reward can be a simple treat or a big reward, based on personal preference. You can either treat yourself to a cup of coffee at the end of the day at your favorite cafe or plan for a short getaway with your girls.
