I agree that habits are key to success, but I've also found that habits are extremely hard to change. That's why they are so powerful. Once you're in a habbit of doing something it's very hard to fall off that track. This goes both ways too, because once you have a bad habbit, life can get miserable.
- DanielBMarkham 6y agoI used to think exactly the same thing. I found in my own experience that this was because I was thinking of habits in too broad of terms. The trick was thinking of very small habit changes, not huge ones. I found this book interesting, "Tiny Habits". The author does a much better job of explaining this than I probably can. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0358003326/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0358003326/ (Also note that one of the common definitions of addiction is where you want to do things but cannot because of some habitual behavior. Only you can judge whether that's the case or not, but I would think that's a different type of problem than regular habits)
