Those days I’ve been practicing an advice that I read about how to make your habits easier to perform.  The idea is taking away friction when it comes to performing the habit you want to build.  For instance, prime the environment, that means preparing the room before the activity takes place.  If you want to eat healthy, place the skillet on the oven before you go to bed, so the next morning when you see the skillet you’ll be more encouraged to prepare a good meal, you’ll find less friction to perform the good habit to do it.  I guess that is possible in an upside way.  I mean creating the friction necessary to avoid a bad habit.  For instance, I’ve come to realize that sometimes I check my phone for social media and It's taken me a bunch of time.  So, I’ve decided to leave my phone in another room different from the place I usually work.  That simple strategy has helped me to avoid checking my phone without a real necessity, and I only take my phone for answering a call.  Therefore my productivity has improved and It hasn’t been necessary to make up lost time.
