Wow. You win. Giving up your gaming system?!? That's amazing, and I'm now even more impressed by you. And I'm attempting to use that as inspiration. I'm working on it (oh, the resistance)—and my deadline is today. Until then, here's what I can add about habits...
As a creativity coach, I've read the books, learned the tricks, and with this ADHD brain, I can still be my own worst client. But when it comes to habits, it was the teacher and children's book author in me that had to simmer down those books, talks, and ideas into an easier-to-remember mnemonic. ABC of course!
A: Action Wanted
What is the activity you want to become a habit?
B: Baby Step
What's the smallest possible step you can take?
C: Connect With
What will you do before, during, or after this activity that is already a habit for you?
And then, practice, practice, practice. Oh, and just like in writing, you get to revise at any time.
Hmmm. Thanks! You just helped me with another goal. I'll write a post on this soon.
I love this - I’m so impressed with the getting rid of the gaming and replacing it with what you really want and dream of doing. So many of us have dreams and goals but don’t have the courage or work ethic to follow through. I also love that you incorporated this art habit into your daily life with your child. Inspired!

It was time:) we have time, we just have to choose how we use it!
Wow! Getting rid of the gaming system...that's impressive!
I’ll replace it some day, I needed to make time, and I knew there was like 500 hours a year in that thing

It doesn’t have to be that dramatic though, little habits make the difference!
Yes, 💯 agree. Tony Atomic habits is how big things happen!
