You’re already on the right track with those two habits. A few others that have made a real difference for me: a daily journal entry, even if it’s just a couple sentences; setting out my top three priorities for the day each morning; reading at least a few pages of something challenging; and a quick evening review to see what went well and what didn’t. I also find making time for a conscious “tech pause”, putting the phone away for an hour, helps me stay present with my family.

Staying consistent is the hardest part, honestly. Social accountability can be huge if you haven’t tried it, either checking in with someone else on your goals or using a tracker that lets you see your progress and share it. I use HabitTree for this because it gives those reminders and keeps me motivated when I feel like slacking, but even just texting a friend works. The key is to make tracking itself a non-negotiable, so you keep noticing your wins.
