Somebody once told me that the key to building a habit was to do it for a months straight, every day. I think there is something about my brain that makes me unable to do that. That pushes me away from doing something on a set schedule. Actually, now that I think about it, the times that I'm most miserable is when I know what I'm doing for the rest of the day/weekend. If, when I start the day, I know I have 2 hours of meetings, 3 hours of writing, 1 hour of schedule upkeep, and 3 hours of testing to do, I am sad all day long. Even if I have a weekend trip planned, I end up getting a little bummed out because I know there are things that I can't do (e.g. sit on the couch and nap).
So in closing, fuck good habits. If something is good to do, there should be motivation behind it, not routine.
