I am very good at planning. I'm also good at researching. This means that I know exactly what I want to achieve with which habit. But: for me at least, that's the easiest part. Implementing these habits and establishing them in the long term is more difficult for me. And then it's even harder because I know exactly what would be good for me 🥺

There’s a book I read years ago called getting things done. It talks about how overwhelming goals can be and how that leads to procrastination. The trick is to break down all your goals into very tiny bite size steps.
So if you have to do something you are procrastinating like paying your taxes, then break down everything into steps. Step 1, gather tax documents, step 2 gather expenses, step 3 contact tax professional, step 4 make a payment. So instead of saying I need to do my taxes, you start by saying I need to gather my tax documents. If you find that you are still procrastinating the first step, then it means that step is too complex and should be broken down further.
