Surround yourself

Hard things that take a lot of discipline can become organic if they are the default for people in your life.

So if you’re getting a new puppy, surround yourself with people interested in dog training. If you want to be a better writer, surround yourself with people who call themselves writers. If you want to eat healthier, surround yourself with people who care a lot about nutrition.

“Surround yourself” could mean: join the Reddit or Discord communities, listen to podcasts in the background, find the related Slack channels at work, drop into some local meetups, poll your network, etc.
