Reduce Friction

The moment you feel yourself hesitate on something you know you should do, count 5-4-3-2-1 to activate your prefrontal cortex and interrupt the habit of overthinking, self-doubt, and fear.
Mel Robbins

When setting up your plan for developing your habits, include components for reducing friction. The less energy you require to start a habit, the more likely you will be in doing the habit.

Include in the plan, anything that will make it easy to start your habit.

If the habit is to run on the treadmill, have your shoes, and clothes readily available, so it takes as little energy as possible to get on the treadmill.
