After reading atomic habits, mini habits and a bunch of other books, I believe that this is the ultimate hack to overcome procrastination and build habits that would last.

Set Six Alarms. It’ll Change Your Life. 

A habit when done makes rest of your day productive. It acts as a trigger for the rest of your habits. It can be anything like waking up early or going to the gym or reading etc.

The Domino Habit

Dates or events which creates distinction between past and future behaviours. Eg. birthday, marriage or 1st January. This can be utilised within a 24-hour cycle to promote behavioural consistency and efficiency.

Temporal Landmarks

<ol><li>Identifying the domino habit - The one main habit which will set you for the day like waking up at 6 am or meditation or reading etc. </li><li>Setting Alarms - Write down temporal landmarks within your routine. Set alarms for each temporal landmark which creates trigger for you to perform that activity. </li></ol>

The Steps To Follow

5:30 am - WAKE UP8:00 am - REBOOT5:00 pm - WORK FINISH6:00 pm - DINNER8:30 pm - BED9:00 pm - SLEEPThe timings can vary accordingly. Try to stick to 6 or less temporal landmarks for efficiency.

Example Of Temporal Landmarks

<ol><li>Reduces cognitive load by dividing day into segments</li><li>Allows you to be more present</li><li> No over complication, </li><li>Helps you to reset habits from the next temporal landmark, if one landmark is missed, in the overall 24 hour cycle. </li></ol>

Benefits..?

This will result in easier decision-making and proper time management through out the day
