MOTIVATION IS NOT THE WINNING TICKET FOR LONG-TERM CHANGE
Don't rely on motivation if you want to build on the long term.
When someone plans to go to the gym and be fit for the summer and fails to do it, we tend to focus on its motivation: "Go to the gym. You promised to do it. Do you want to be fat?"

Motivation doesn't produce results. We need skills and a good prompt.
Make the behavior so tiny it doesn't need motivation and find the right context to help you do it easily.
