Good read! I agree with you.

  • I second the idea of taking some time off habits and giving yourself a bit of time so as not to burn out.
  • Progress monitoring is also really important. It gives a sense of accomplishment and confidence in one's self, giving a bird's eye view.
  • I prefer not the idea of tracking my time spent in any habit. It gives me anxiety and I am constantly thinking of how little time I have and end up somewhat wasting my time and not being able to focus completely.
  • To complement my previous point, it happens so often with me that I can not control myself to read much more than I initially intended to. As a solution, I track the amount of pages read and am flexible with the limit if there are a few pages to finish off the chapter.
