Habits are the building blocks of success. Here’s how to automate the process:* Step 1: Choose one habit to focus on at a time. Download a habit-tracking app like Habitica, Streaks, or Done to track progress and gamify your streaks.* Step 2: Automate reminders. Use Google Calendar or Notion to create recurring tasks for daily habits, such as “Drink water at 10 AM” or “Meditate for 5 minutes at 7 PM.”* Step 3: Create accountability with rewards. Use Beeminder to set financial stakes if you miss a goal or reward yourself when you hit a milestone.* Step 4: Stack habits. Tie a new habit to an existing routine. For example, “After brushing my teeth, I’ll write down one gratitude in my journal.”Pro Tip: Keep habits simple and achievable to avoid burnout.
