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

• I genuinely want to do this small thing and it’s easy enough
• I’ve made the habit tiny and easy enough to do, but I just keep plain forgetting it
• I tell myself I’ll do it "sometime today" and then the day fills up and somehow it never happens
• It’s not that I won’t do the habit
• I tell myself the phone’s only by my bed because it’s my alarm, but then I’m scrolling it the last thing at night and the first thing before I’m even fully awake
