      Yeah but bad habits are often formed because they’re things we enjoy on some level. The idea of just like doing something at a set time without 20 different reminders and alarms going off is absolutely baffling to me. Like, my husband will just wake up in the morning and go through his routine IN HIS HEAD without any reminders or lists. He does like 50 things and it’s so effortless for him he just remembers. He even has different things he does for different days of the week and he just remembers them. I deeply envy people built like that because some of us genuinely don’t have the capacity to learn it. I tried for 20 years even mirroring my husband to try and find a similar groove and it never takes. I have to have reminders, reminders about my reminders, and then sometimes an extra one to remind me to get back to it because I tend to end up doing something ridiculous like scrubbing baseboards halfway through doing the dishes 😭
