This is great! When I’m done with dinner, I’ll get ready for bed as soon and journal (so that I’ll have decompressed the day, ready for tomorrow and go to sleep earlier when I feel tired).
This is great, Amy! Your comment just reminded me of something most people overlook entirely... which is to come up with reasons WHY you want the habit (journaling to decompress, sleeping earlier, being ready for tomorrow)
One thing to watch: "when I'm done with dinner" is a solid trigger.
Here's a small tweak to make it even stronger:
Turn "When I'm done with dinner" into "As soon as I clear my plate"
Specificity makes it harder procrastinate and easier to take action.

Sounds good, thanks for helping me make it even more specific! It’s working!
This was great, Dean! Making my habit stack now.
Thanks, Tommy! Or is it Thomas now? What should I call you man?!!! 🤣
lol Tommy is just fine! I am brushing up my profile a little bit.
