Here is a relaxed walkthrough of egg muffins — the kind you can come back to whenever you want.
Pick a small starting point
When in doubt, choose the version you can repeat next week. Sustainable beats impressive.
A shorter version done often beats a longer version done rarely.
A first week to try
Track only as much as feels kind. Some habits do best when no one is keeping score.
- A simple version for the first try
- A version with music on
- A version in silence
- A version at sunrise
What to expect
Make it boring enough to repeat. Exciting habits often outshine the boring ones — then disappear.
Make it social if you can. Habits that include people tend to stick longer than solo ones.
Common bumps
Keep the bar honest. Meeting the bar is a win. Exceeding it is a bonus.
Some days everything goes as planned. Most days, something gets in the way. Both are normal.
A kind next step
Build a version you can do while tired. Tired-day plans keep the whole thing going.
Above all, keep it kind. The friendly version of any habit tends to last the longest.
