Habits
Habits are what you do automatically when a cue is triggered. There are two books on habit that I recommend. One is Power of Habits by Charles Duhigg, and another is Atomic Habits by James Clear. Both of those books are a good starting point.
Habits are interesting, and they are a good way of disciplining yourself.

Thoughts
- When doing things, I have worked mostly on the small health and focus habits in the morning. It is much easier to "cue" in the morning than in the evening.
- Bad habits are there for a reason; I think the removal of cues is important. During the pandemic, I felt like it was too easy to grab a beer or something from the fridge, so I had to stop having beer in the fridge, then the monthly beer consumption fell drastically. If there is honey in the jar the bear will eat it.
- One sick and disgusting thing of the modern economy is the exploitatio of the lizard brain of people to sell things. Stuffing food with sugars, making confusing stores that lead to the candy shelves. And all the other things that have happened.
