yep. It's curious how it was attached to his name. Maybe a bit of the Mandela Effect going on.
Regardless, I can personally vouch for the method. It's so stupid but it worked for me. Draw a grid on a piece of paper. Mark an X on the next available square every time you do the thing you want to do (i.e. create a habit for). And there is exactly one rule: Do not ever break the chain. Ever. Don't do it you stupid dumbass! Not even one day. No cheat days. Nothing.
The psychological or chemical reward for marking that stupid X seems to be enough to motivate you to change behavior. Might be because this method is so simple it's fool-proof. It's one rule. You can't rationalize your wait out of it.
