The food in your kitchen is the food you’re most likely to eat. Look in your fridge, cupboard, and pantry if you have one. What’s there? Is it mostly healthy, easy to prepare, and tasty? Is it mostly junk? Whatever it is, that’s what you’re probably going to eat. It’s hard to eat a chicken salad if you have neither chicken nor salad on hand. It’s easy to eat Oreo’s if they’re right on the counter.
The same is true for your wardrobe. Whatever’s in your closet or dresser is what you’ll wear. The same is true for everything in your environment. What’s easy to use get’s used. What’s difficult to use doesn’t.
Luckily you have a degree of control over your environment. You can make good things easier to do and bad things harder to do. For example, I keep my “new essay” tab open at all times. Whenever I get an idea, I can click a button and start writing. I find it much easier to write on a laptop so that’s what I use to write. I sleep in my gym clothes and keep my gym shoes by my bed. So I wake up, put on my shoes, and walk out to my car to drive to the gym. I keep fruit in fridge so it’s easy to grab.
The opposite works for things you want to avoid. I don’t have social media installed on my phone. I keep my phone away while working and receive texts and calls from my watch. I’m not perfect at this, but trying to make good things easy and bad things hard has been helpful in my life.
