Peter Gibbons: Well see, they wrote all this bank software, and, uh, to save space, they used two digits for the date instead of four. So, like, 98 instead of 1998? So, like, 98 instead of 1998? Uh, so I go through these thousands of lines of code and, uh... it doesn't really matter.

I like James Clear's idea of "habit stacking" from his book Atomic Habits. For example, every time you brush your teeth - clean the bathroom/sink real quick. Then, you're ensuring every time you brush your teeth (which should be at least once a day), you're getting the bathroom clean as well.

Just out of morbid curiosity, _what_ kind of things are you usually looking for?
