Work until your habits know the destination even when your emotions forget.

Emotions are unreliable navigators. They forget the destination on bad days, argue for turning around during hard stretches, and are entirely convincing while doing it. Habits do not forget, because they are not remembering anything; they are just running. Building them well means that on the days you lose the plot, your behaviour still knows the way.

Attach what matters to a fixed time and place until it stops requiring a decision. Same hour, same location, same first action. The aim is a routine that carries you through the weeks when your motivation goes quiet.
