This is missing step 5 - a few months later I forget that I have a habit and have to start over from scratch
Every. Single. Time.
If you have to remember to do it it's not a habit. Or at least that's my understanding of habits.
Yeah that's what I'm talking about.
I have habits that I don't have to think about and then one day they're just gone and I have to start over. Usually it happens by having a sudden realization that the thing I did for months without thinking about it has not been done for several weeks. Then to rebuild that habit I have to start over again.
Makes sense. I never had any habits besides getting various forms of entertainment on the internet so I can't relate. I always have to make an active effort to do something and then at some point (usually days, a few weeks is my absolute maximum) my brain refuses to even do the bare minimum to make me do stuff.
Same, like once my brain forgets it's supposed to be a habit it's just gone. It sucks.
You have to remember to do it, but you don't always have to actively try to do so
I'm still working on getting myself to do the same thing every day for a week, forget about 3 months.
