Creating and breaking habits is hard. Luckily there are some tricks.

My wife constantly reminded me to bring sunglasses to protect my eyes. I constantly forgot. I couldn’t figure out why.

I never forgot to bring my wallet when going out. I simply started always putting my sunglasses with my wallet. Even if I didn’t need them. It worked right away.

This is habit stacking. To create a new habit, attach it to an existing one.
