Yeah, routines help for sure.
My problem is that I establish them and then never follow through.
I forget I drew up a daily schedule. Or that I created yet another DAILY ORGANIZER template in Microsoft Word. A real beauty too.
A structure is good. Just as there are a lot of good, sensible weight loss programs around. The trick is sticking to it.
That’s where having partners comes in.
When my wife Ava checks in with me a few times a day, the simple act of getting present to what I am supposed to be doing, as opposed to what I am actually doing, is great. I get back on track, quickly.
And the longer I am on track, the more automatic the new habit becomes.
For example, I check all my pockets every time I leave the house, or leave the office, a meeting, someone’s house, a coffee shop… It’s automatic.
It sounds kind of small and silly, but to me, it’s magical. And it saves a ton of aggravation.
