What is one habit I hope to establish in 2022?

Candidates

  • Sleeping early + getting up early
  • Reading a book a month
  • ✅ Exercising and/or spending time in nature 140 minutes a week (~20 min/day) - Chosen! Guidelines to keep in mind:
  1. Make it obvious
  2. Make it attractive
  3. Make it easy
  4. Make it immediately satisfying

How I plan on establishing this habit:

  • Making the cues obvious + reducing the friction needed for me to get movin’
    • Always have my basketball and jump rope lying around where I can see them
    • Make clothes/shoes/socks easily accessible so I can get out of bed and leave my room/apartment/house
  • Make it attractive
    • I get to listen to an audiobook or music while exercising
  • Make it immediately satisfying
    • Mocha cappuccino flavored protein powder is seriously the best flavor out there y’all
  • Other strategies
    • Never bring laptop into bedroom (will decrease chances of me watching Netflix there and just lying/sitting on my bed for long periods doing nothing)

What is another habit I hope to establish in 2022?

  • Reading 1 book a month (or, at least, reading 8 books total in 2022)

How I plan on establishing this habit:

  • Listen to audiobooks!
  • Reasons
    • I can listen to books on the go, and I spend a fair amount of time commuting or doing tasks (e.g. washing the dishes, exercising) that don’t require my full attention
    • Paperback books are much more expensive, and I need to set aside dedicated time to read them. I also move around a lot, and physical books can be a hassle to transport. Hence why I’ve been reading a grand total of zeeero books.
    • The biggest advantage of audiobooks is it will make reading much more accessible and convenient, and it is a cheaper alternative to physical books.
    • Audiobooks will aid me on my path to becoming a reader - someone who regularly reads
