Prompt
Help me build a habit (or break one) in a way that actually sticks.
The habit I want to build or break:
{{habit}}
My situation (my routine, what I've tried, what gets in the way): {{context}}
Please:
- Define the habit concretely — what exactly I'll do, and how small the starting version is (make it almost too easy to begin).
- Anchor it to an existing **trigger** (after I do X, I'll do the habit) so it fits my current routine.
- Suggest a simple way to **track it** and a realistic frequency — consistency over intensity.
- Anticipate the main obstacles I mentioned and give a plan for each, including what to do when I miss a day (don't quit — restart).
- For breaking a habit: focus on removing the trigger and replacing the behavior, not just willpower.
Keep it practical and kind — small and sustainable beats ambitious and abandoned. This is general habit-building, not medical, fitness, or health advice; if my goal touches health, keep it to routine and behavior and suggest I check with a professional for the health specifics. If I didn't say what gets in the way, ask.
