Making a plan you’re likely to keep
Plans are more likely to happen when they’re specific. What exactly will you do, when, and where?
Linking an activity to something you already do helps. After I get home from work, I’ll change and walk around the block. After breakfast, I’ll text my sister.
Think ahead about what might get in the way and what you’d do then. Lay out your shoes the night before. Put the bill on top of your keys.
Some people do better with an exact time. Others find that missing a set time makes the whole plan feel ruined, so a part of the day works better. Choose what fits you.
