Your habits are a playlist on shuffle forever. Whatever you add today gets played back to you for years.

Anything you repeat becomes part of a rotation that runs without your involvement. A behavior added this month will keep returning at unexpected moments long after you have forgotten deciding on it, which is what makes small additions so consequential. The set is always playing, and you are only choosing what goes into it.

Add one thing deliberately this week that you would be content to hear again in five years. Remove one that you already dislike hearing. Treat each new repetition as permanent, because for practical purposes it is.
