Ask HN: I keep forgetting the new habits I'm trying to form
This is something I have been struggling with: Let's say the habit I want to form is daily meditation
- research the topic a bit why this habit would beneficial
- make a plan to meditate for 10 min every day
- set up a daily reminder on my phone
- first day: do a 10 min session
- second day: do a 10 min session
- third day: something happens and I skip the session
- fourth day: I skip the session
- fifth day: I skip the session etc. (and ignore the daily reminder on my phone)
- a few weeks later: I am suddenly reminded of the habit I tried to form
Any ideas how I can prevent losing track of the new habit after skipping once or twice? Or how I could regain my focus faster than after a few weeks?
