I'll be working on my habit building. Right now I have a lot of bad habits that need to be got rid of, irregular bedtime routine being the most serious one. Also need to build up good habits, fitness training, writing regularly, meditation, etc.

That’s a good one, what made you decide on specifically habit building?

If you haven’t come across it already, The Compound Effect is an awesome book on forming habits.

Because I've accumulated an array of bad habits during my depression a couple of years ago, and I think I can only truly disconnect myself with that period of life by getting rid of them and building good habits. There are a lot of things that I want to do that are not possible if I still have those bad habits.

I haven't read the book The Compound Effect yet, it's on my reading list now! :)
