Research shows that over 80% of people fail to stick with new habits due to relying on motivation, starting too big, lacking a reward loop, and not shifting their identity.
Habits are not built on motivation but on systems. Design your environment to reduce friction and make the habit easier to do than not to do.
To avoid burnout, start small with habits. Success is more likely if you start with tiny changes and make success inevitable.
Celebrate instantly and create a reward loop to make habits feel rewarding. Shift your identity to align with the habits you want to build.
