> what small daily targets can you set that are strictly about removing friction and reinforcing the behavior you want to see?

For me this has proven to be absolutely true. Goals take a lot of will power which, for me, is exhausting and affects other areas of my life.

On the other hand, making it easier to to what I want to do has actually enabled me to enact those changes.

I want to be more tidy? I'll get the boxes/bins/containers that I need so the effort to put something away is minimal.

I want to wake up earlier, I'll setup a light alarm and have my bedroom at a comfortable temperature by the time I want to get up. (I realized that a big issue for me was leaving the warm be for the cold bedroom, so a warm bedroom makes things A LOT easier!)

I want to recycle? Get the proper bin and make as effortless as possible throwing a plastic on the recycling bin as it is on the regular trash bin.
