20 Small and Weird Inventions That Make Life Easier but Stranger

Start extremely small

Make sure you can’t fail your first habit. When I started some of my habits, I also had the tendency to start with very ambitious habit goals. That doesn’t work. Don’t start with setting a goal of 10 creative ideas per day (or similar: running 60 minutes per day), rather start with 1 idea per day (or similar: exercises just 5 minutes per day). Do it as long as needed for it to become a habit – on average this is 21 days in a row. Never miss 2 consecutive days. Than build on it and expand your habit. The frequency is way more important than the size.
