The only habit I have is brushing my teeth before and after sleep. 😅

For doing chores: I am reviving something I did before (my husband said something … and my progress stopped) 🎉Themed Days! 🎉 (I already do Finance Friday, to keep an eye on my money.) The twist is chores. I put weekly dry erase planner sheets on the refrigerator. I wrote Toilet Tuesday, Sink Saturday. (so the bathroom gets clean just on the same day.) Floors Friday! 😄 this could be fun.

I suspect what would really help me the most, personally, is creating systems where I don’t have to use too much brain power to complete and they become more instinctual. Also, my mindset is why create plans when plans don’t always go according to plan!

I’ve found that my brain does not work with a consistent pattern. I get bored, frustrated, give up, want to scream, feel like a failure… shame. I’m done with that cycle. I’m a batcher. I do things in batches intensely, then I may (!) return, but may not! I prefer a menu of things to choose from instead of a strict routine or structure. It kinda works for me. 👍🏼
