Feeling bored often?
Want to know my secret for staying engaged with old routines?
I change my environment regularly, which brings a sense of newness to old activities.
Reading books is a key part of my routine.
Recently, I bought a reading light. Earlier, I bought new highlighters and a holder for them. I always keep a book with me and make handmade bookmarks from Amazon packaging. These quick changes and additions keep my motivation high.
This approach works great for me, and I now apply it to everything I do to maintain my streaks. The strategy is based on how habits work, without putting pressure on myself. Before, I never succeeded in making any important activity a routine. For me, it’s a life-changing hack.
Changing your environment helps your brain find novelty in familiar tasks, making them more enjoyable. Small changes reduce monotony and keep you engaged. This aligns with the habit loop: cue, routine, reward. By tweaking the cues and rewards, forming a habit becomes easier and more sustainable.
