Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I’ve promised myself a thousand times I’ll "remember to move more" and by the end of a busy day my willpower is gone and I’ve sat the whole time anyway
• I keep vaguely telling myself to "move more" during the day and then a sedentary day slides by and I haven’t budged once
• My whole problem with these little movement snacks is simply that I forget they exist
• I keep telling myself I’ll move "sometime during the day," and then the day just swallows it whole
• I tell myself I’ll do it "sometime today" and then the day fills up and somehow it never happens
