Very portable, whenever I'm in public transport I pull it out and read some pages. I bought an e-reader and started to read daily. The one habit that has done the most for my life is to read non-fiction. Build the habit on a foundation of willpower, if motivation comes along, that's great. The key is to make the requirement so small you will never fail it. I'm sure you have the willpower to do that. Try it right now, force yourself on the ground to do one push up. As opposed to when you require yourself to do 20 and do 10.
Especially if your requirement is, say, 1 push up, and you do 10. It will also give you a sense of "I did this". You will do a lot more than the initial requirement more times then not. Same for reading, once you've forced yourself to sit in a chair with a book and started reading, you wont stop after just 1 word. Once you forced yourself, with willpower, to get into push up position and do 1 push up, you'll probably think "I can do one more, and one more" and so on. Some people might say "only starting to read or doing 1 push up will never get me anywhere." And I agree, but the thing is that you can do more. But if you have very little motivation one day and think about doing 20 pushups, it just seems intimidating and you don't do it. The key is that if you make the requirement so small that you can always do it, you will never fail. The big difference is not to say to yourself "I'm gonna read 20 pages every day because I'm so motivated to gain knowledge." But that you say "I'm going force myself to start reading everyday because I will have enough willpower to always do that." So how can I build habits then? Do it based on willpower. I would have a streak of 100+ days meditation, miss 3 days and completely give up until I had the motivation again to start over. Why? because motivation isn't always there, and when it's gone you also lose the habits that you build on top of it. Motivation is good if it's there but it shouldn't be the foundation of the habits you create. So some advice on habit building I have accumulated is this:ĭON'T TRUST MOTIVATION. I made a lot of mistakes when I first started out. I started with nofap, meditation, reading, cleaning and some more. I liked the idea and started implementing it to form positive habits in my life. It also debunked the idea of a 'quantum leap', which at first I believed in. The idea of the book was that with consistent, incremental improvement, anyone could reach anything. This went on for a long time until I saw I had to change my life. Every night I would hang out with a friend who would do the same and we'd smoke weed and watch screens until about 5 am. I completely disregarded my study while I was living of a study loan. Only ate junkfood, lay in bed watching YouTube and smoking a lot of weed. It all started when I realized I had hit rock bottom.

Start a bullet journal where you color code all activities you do each day positive or negative. Lessen the amount of superstimuli in your life to get more dopamine (motivation).įlow activities should be the goal in life, not mind numbing pleasure. Work on your physiology, it should be the foundation for productivity and discipline. Start reading non-fiction and apply it in your life. TLDR Build positive habits on a foundation of willpower, not motivation. I would like to mention that I'm not a native English speaker, so forgive me for any grammar and/or spelling mistakes. I hope you will take something away from this :).
