If you started a new routine as part of your New Year’s resolution and it feels harder now than it did in January, nothing’s gone wrong.
About six weeks in is when routines usually start to break down — not because of discipline, but because the routine wasn’t designed for busy, low-energy days.
Shorten the routine.
Remove friction.
Keep a minimum version for days when energy is low.
That’s how routines start to last.
