Karlil, This is such an important topic. So much of taking good care of your own health, for example, is developing good habits and sticking to them.

One thing that helps me stick to exercise is measuring it, using the President’s Challenge website. I rack up points every time I exercise, and when I get enough I get a medal.

It may sound silly, but it helps me stay motivated.

@Patrick
I can’t agree more Patrick. It’s always the first part being the hardest to do.

@Jeffrey
I second that. I believe giving such excuses once in a blue moon is beneficial as all you actually need is the momentum (the starting of the habit). But if you use it often though, it would actually backfire, making you lazy.

Doing -something- productive is always better than doing nothing. You have to be careful, though, not to keep rationalizing away your motivation by saying: “Well, I exercised a -little- bit … that’s good enough… no need to push myself any further.”
