I've noticed this with a lot of my habits. At some point you have so many amazing and useful daily habits that doing the habits becomes a massive drain on time and attention.
That means the habits are no longer beneficial. Time to drop some of them. Pruning is important and not often talked about in the self-improvement literature.
The first one I dropped is meditation. I get much better benefits from a 30 minute run than I do from 10 minutes sitting still in a chair. And it's easier to make time for running than it is for sitting in a chair. Plus running is meditative too.
And so on. I find that habits that are getting harder and harder to stick to are telling me "Hey psst, I'm not useful anymore"
