If, like me, you struggle to keep up your good habits, let me give you some good advice I often fail to follow:
Just accept it. Settle for the meanest, most pathetic effort you can manage.

Read one page. Write two sentences. Do one set of reps. Meditate for five minutes (or two, or one).
Just do that. Because the alternative isn't doing it right - the alternative is not doing it at all.
So don't be a chump.

Like now: I am going to walk the dog until she's had a piss, then meditate until midnight. Then sleep, because I have to.
I should have had more time for both of those things, but I fucked up. Wasted time. So now I need to do at least a bit of both, lest I stop entirely.

Last time I had this resigned attitude, I actually got shit done. Eventually, a lot of it.
If you want to be competent, don't waste energy fighting your incompetence. It don't work that way.

Ok, gave the dog a proper walk. My dumbityness is not her fault.
So that means 15 minutes less sleep, to make way for meditation.

You keep at a habit through the stupid obstacles you make for yourself, eventually you figure out it's simpler just not to make them.
