It doesn’t take that long
Once you decide what you want to do, it takes little time to do it. For exercise, fifteen minutes is all it takes to get your heart pumping, and you're done for the day.
Sharing too soon
Even though you want to share with the world that you've gone to the gym or started a diet, don't share your progress until you've done it for three or six months. It will keep you going for longer and make you consistent.
Record your experience
Write about your experience, including your feelings, friendships, hardships, etc. This will allow you to see your progress.
Seeing your starting point, the journey and the result will give you a sense of achievement.
Share your experience
It is important to share your experience later on because someone else may be going through the same struggles and would value your input.
Consistency is key
It will show how to achieve what you set out to achieve.
Willpower will fail, but if you fit what you want to achieve in your schedule, you will get the results.

Use “Minimum Viable Effort”
Focus on baby steps. The key to new good habits is to do the minimum and be consistent.

Productivity guilt
Productivity guilt happens when you feel overwhelmed by not attending to all the things you know you "should" be doing and having a nagging feeling that you're wasting time.
Hidden contradictions of life advice
In practice, adding too many suggestions for living well will create a conflict with each other.
Suggestions are almost always given on their own, without including a wider context. You can read about why exercise, reading or meditating are good on their own, but rarely find information about how they trade-off against each other.
Being too tired
There are two different types of feeling tired.
- The feeling you have as you're about to start an activity. Once you actually do it, your mood changes and you find you're glad you did it.
- The second kind persists throughout the activity itself. You find you struggle with pushing through more than five minutes of it. If you feel like this for weeks at a time, your habits are probably unsustainable.
