This is wise. In addition to watching the properties of the object, which could be considered static, be mindful of the properties in yourself and how these interact with the former, because yours are dynamic and can be developed as a skill, so you learn how to make beneficial habits stick more regardless of their perceived properties.

Thanks for your reply. The "stop" was new to me. Having a good feeling when you stop because you know that you come back again is helpful.

I read a few more of your articles and I like the variety of topics. Keep on going!

Thank you!
