One effective hack for creating new habits is to start small with what’s known as the « two-minute rule. » Essentially, you break down your habit into a task that takes just two minutes to complete. For example, if you want to start a habit of reading every day, your two-minute task might be to read just one page of a book.

The idea behind this is that it’s much easier to commit to doing something that takes just two minutes, making it less daunting and more likely that you’ll actually do it. Once you’ve established the habit of doing the two-minute task consistently, you can gradually increase the time or complexity of the habit over time. It’s all about building momentum and consistency.
