It helps me to have my plans/goals written down. When life gets complex and overwhelming I refer to them to remind myself what's important to me and therefore what I should prioritize. When I get off course, they guide me back.

I kept them simple and achievable. For example "lift weights 3 times a week".

Next step was to pick one at a time and schedule them. For example "MWF right after work". This helps make them a habit instead of a constant battle with your willpower.

Don't punish yourself for getting off track. Just get back to it. Eventually it will become part of who you are and you'll rarely get off track.

Create the habit. Results will follow.
