You don’t drift into good habits. You drift toward whatever’s easiest.

Habits do not run on intention. They settle into whichever path has the least friction, which is why the phone on the pillow wins and the book across the room loses. Nothing about you has to change for a poor routine to carry on, because it is being held up by the layout of your room and the order of your evening.

Rather than promising yourself more discipline, move one object. Charger out in the hall, kit by the door, bottle filled the night before. Make the thing you want slightly easier to start, and give the thing you do not want one extra step.
