Keeping new habits intact.

Sure, it's usually not too tough for the first few days or so, especially when the other normal habits are not particularly disruptive in the first place, but I can imagine the first time I stay the night somewhere else how it will be a test of these habits if they have not already solidified by then. Anything that breaks routine will basically test the mettle of my commitment to the new habits in the first place. A dearth of ideas, a later-than-usual day returning home, an extra early wake-up time the next morning... these are all little deviations that might be disruptive. In some small way, however, identifying some of these possible anti-habits beforehand will help to break through them when they do appear in my life's little battles in the future. Making a plan along those lines further improves those odds. Having a plan at all is a plan to succeed at least a little more than nothing, I always say. Ha.
