Have you tried the 21 day rule?

Sometimes we decide on doing something and then, after several days, come up with a million reasons/excuses why not to do it now or even at all. Perhaps we simply just forget why we wanted to do it so much in the first place.

If that sounds familiar, you might want to give the "21 days rule" a trial.

For the first 21 days you do exactly what you decided to do without asking questions, or thinking about the reasons why. You even remind yourself that you will be able to decide to stop doing it after a month.

But after that month you're already used to the new habit and so now that habit seems completely reasonable.

It may just help you save those New Year resolutions that slipped by.
