Make a new habit small enough to learn from

Before changing your routine, ask what you want to keep steady. Then choose one small step you can try for a week—something that fits around that anchor, not a whole new system.

At the end of the week, take a moment to notice: What helped? What got in the way? Keep, adjust or let go based on what you learn. A simple check-in can support follow-through without turning a first attempt into a rigid commitment.
