“However, I’ve noticed that **I have both fixed habits and unfixed habits**. An unfixed habit requires more decision making and adjustment: I’m in the habit of going to the gym on Mondays, and I write every day, but every Monday I must decide when to go to the gym, and I must decide when and where I’ll do my daily writing. **I try to make my good habits as fixed as possible**, because the more consistently I perform an action, the more automatic it becomes, and the fewer decisions it requires; but given the complexities of life, many habits can’t be made completely automatic.” --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[habits]] , [[routines]] , [[discipline]] , [[environmental-design]] **Source** -- [[20240806084000 - B - Better Than Before]]
