Das sind immer Bereiche, in denen Gewohnheiten besonders stark ausgeprägt sind. Oder in denen sich ein Anspruchsdenken entwickelt hat, sodass jemand meint, etwas stehe ihm zu.
Fighting against climate change is hard, where habits are formed and entitlement is common.
For our purposes, we will define a habit as the intersection of knowledge, skill, anddesire. Knowledge is the theoretical paradigm, the what to do and the why. Skill is thehow to do. And desire is the motivation, the want to do. In order to make something ahabit in our lives, we have to have all three
knowledge - the what and why skill - how desire - the want habit - intersects all three

I review my Anki cards while walking to get my morning coffee, while waiting in line, on transit, and so on.
It requires a bit of commitment and habit-making. One has to develop that "muscle-memory" to review cards while in a less cognitive-effort demanding situation.
But this muscle-memory of pulling out ones mobile phone seems a bit contradictory to Cal Newport's philosophy of Digital Minimalism. Of course, since the use case is very specific, it can be passed as a necessary thing to do and thus, be harmless.
Erin Floto has a metal stencil for a chronodex circular design for use in bullet journals. It's a form of circular calendar with the inner circle containing space for daily, bi-weekly, weekly, monthly and longer time horizons with succeeding rings of the circle containing space for data related to the inner categories. Some of the exterior rings also include numbered squares representing days of the month or week on which a task should be done or for which a habit on an interior part of the circle might be tracked.
The chronodex, a portmanteau of chrono (time) and index, idea is fairly simple, but can be quite complex. For actual use, one may need to be able to spin the visualization around to read and understand it.

They apparently offer a mini course outlining the system.
One wonders how much "why" they offer?
40% or more of our daily activities, thinking and the choices we make are habits.
We are actually controlled by our habits, but we can train habits.

An interesting looking script/set up partway down the page.
For research purposes, make it a habit to include the book title, author, chapter, and page number. If you find yourself needing further context than your comment and notes provide, you won’t have to search the entire book to find the exact location you referenced to. Instead, you can immediately open to the right chapter your note addresses.

You cannot followrules you do not know. Nor can you acquire an artistic habitany craft or skill-without following rules. The art as something that can be taught consists of rules to be followed inoperation. The art as something learned and possessed consists of the habit that results from operating according to therules.
This is why one has some broad general rules for keeping and maintaining a zettelkasten. It helps to have some rules to practice and make a habit.
Unmentioned here is that true artists known all the rules and can then more profitably break those rules for expanding and improving upon their own practice. This is dramatically different from what is seen by some of those who want to have a commonplace or zettelkasten practice, but begin without any clear rules. They often begin breaking the rules to their detriment without having the benefit of long practice to see and know the affordances of such systems before going out of their way to break those rules.
By breaking the rules before they've even practiced them, many get confused or lost and quit their practice before they see any of the benefits or affordances of them.
Of course one should have some clear cut end reasons which answer the "why" question for having such practices, or else they'll also lose the motivation to stick with the practice, particularly when they don't see any light at the end of the tunnel. Pure hope may not be enough for most.
Knowing the rules of an art is not the same as having thehabit.

Like trails in a jungle becomes a road the more you walk on it, the things we do, again and again, become a habit; require less effort to do; we even haven an urge to do it.

6:08 How To Build a Habit
The first thing to do is to break down a vague goal into clear, separate actions, because the idea is to make the action itself as easy a threshold as possible: so small it is manageable and so specific that you don’t have to think about it a lot. e.g. Every evening (trigger), learn new words on WordUp (specific action) for 10 minutes (low effort).
Many things you want to turn into habits don’t offer as much instant gratification as wasting time on Facebook. To make your new action easier to repeat try to make it pleasurable. Not necessarily by rewarding yourself after you did it, but by making the action or behavior itself more enjoyable.
How long it takes for you to establish a habit varies widely. It depends on the behavior you are trying to get used to, what kind of person you are, your stress levels and many more things. It takes anything between 15 and 250 days until a new habit is kicked off automatically by its trigger. You won't know how long it will take for you until you start treading the path.

You want to start flossing more? Okay, floss one tooth. Just floss one tooth. Make it so simple that you can't not do it [set the bar low...]. I'm gonna read one page. It's so simple. I can't not do it. I'd feel like an idiot [...really low].
Once you can do that for like two weeks straight, great. two pages [increase gradually].

When an action becomes a habit it actually moves to a different part of the brain. You see, decision making and willpower take place in the Prefrontal Cortex. That's prime real estate. When we turn an action into a habit it migrates to the Basal Ganglia and therefore frees up space in the prefrontal cortex for other more important decisions.

Forcing people out of the habit to assume this branch would be called master, is a valuable lesson.
Every goal is doomed to fail if it goes against the grain of human nature.
Whenever you want to change your behavior, you can simply ask yourself: How can I make it obvious? How can I make it attractive? How can I make it easy? How can I make it satisfying?
If a behavior is insufficient in any of the four stages, it will not become a habit. Eliminate the cue and your habit will never start. Reduce the craving and you won’t experience enough motivation to act. Make the behavior difficult and you won’t be able to do it. And if the reward fails to satisfy your desire, then you’ll have no reason to do it again in the future. Without the first three steps, a behavior will not occur. Without all four, a behavior will not be repeated.
Second, rewards teach us which actions are worth remembering in the future. Your brain is a reward detector
The first purpose of rewards is to satisfy your craving
The response is the actual habit you perform, which can take the form of a thought or an action. Whether a response occurs depends on how motivated you are and how much friction is associated with the behavior. If a particular action requires more physical or mental effort than you are willing to expend, then you won’t do it. Your response also depends on your ability. It sounds simple, but a habit can occur only if you are capable of doing it.
Cues are meaningless until they are interpreted. The thoughts, feelings, and emotions of the observer are what transform a cue into a craving.
Every craving is linked to a desire to change your internal state.
Cravings are the second step of the habit loop, and they are the motivational force behind every habit. Without some level of motivation or desire—without craving a change—we have no reason to act. What you crave is not the habit itself but the change in state it delivers.
The cue triggers your brain to initiate a behavior. It is a bit of information that predicts a reward
Your life today is essentially the sum of your habits.

Creating a habit to use vocabulary in normal classroom talk makes a lot of sense using vocab. in normal conversations so students understand it in a practical manner. I'll develop a habit to use more vocab. while talking with students about peer interactions like: playground issues, talking with peers and friends. If they hear new words and understand them in a real-world context they maintain them long-term. Makes sense! love it!
This prologue can be summarized best and memorably this way: 
. Why? Allow me to explain...
Lyubomirsky makes the simple but important point that increasing your level of happiness takes sustained effort and commitment over time, just like achieving any other important goal in life.
Now the good news is, a lot of the activities that I think foster happiness, well-being, can become habitual over time, and so, once they become habitual, the effort decreases.
There is a certain hubris to the notion that a mere academic writer is actually inveming. But the hubris is more than tempered by the self -evident modesty of the returns. So why not hang up the academic hat of critical self-serio usness, set aside the intemperate arrogance of debunking-and enjoy? If you don't enjoy concepts and writing and don't feel that when you write you arc adding something to the world, if only the enjoyment itself, and that by adding that ounce of positive experience to the world you are affirming it, celebrating its potential, tending irs growth, in however small a way, however really abstractly-well, just hang it up. It is nor that critique is wrong. As usual, it is not a question of right and wrong-nothing impor tant ever is. Rather, it is a question of dosage. It is simply that when you arc busy critiquing you arc less busy augmenting. You are that much less fo stering. There are times when debunking is necessary. But, if applied in a blanket manner, adopted as a general operating principle, it is coun terproductive. Foster or debunk. It's a strategic question.

Things like how you don't pick your passions, they pick you
"Everyone thinks that they know what they want; sometimes your drug chooses you." -- k.d. lang, "My Last Cigarette"
our lack of hardwired patterns of behavior
This passage reminds me of Lyotard's introduction to The Inhuman, and this Onion article.
habits [are pleasurable]; for the habitual has already become, as it were, natural; for habit is something like nature
Interesting juxtaposition of habit with compulsion: habits are pleasurable, compulsions are not, "unless they become habitual"...
Rather, it is a question of dosage
Avital Ronell writes in Crack Wars (1992): "It is all more or less a question of dosage" (61). Again the invocation of addiction, critique as a habit that requires management.
Habit is an acquired automatic self-r egulation. It resides in the flesh
This surprised me. Because of Infinite Jest, habit always makes me think of addiction, though the addictive kind of habit would do some violence to Massumi's claim here, it seems.
these precepts of oratory, though necessary to know, are yet insufficient to produce the full power of eloquence unless they are united with a certain efficient readiness that among the Greeks is called hexis, " habit."
A habit of thinking must then be gradually gained by embracing in our minds a few particulars at first, in such a way that they may be faithfully repeated.
