Break an unhelpful habit

Breaking a habit is easier when you change what triggers it.

Steps

1. Notice when and where it happens
2. Remove or avoid the cue where you can
3. Add a small step in the way, like logging out of an app
4. Find another way to get the same reward
5. Track the days you managed
