Remove the mental effort to change happen

The best techniques to change something remove the mental effort and can easily be used in a routine you already have.

1. Direct the rational mind by providing a clear direction. Resistance is often a lack of direction.
2. Motivate the emotional mind. Knowing something isn't enough to make you change. Break the change into smaller pieces so it's less daunting.
3. Shape the path. Tweak the environment. Build habits. When a behavior is habitual, it will not require so much effort.
