I love it. Do you believe that there is kind of a one-size-fits-all solution to changing our habits, or do you think it's something different?

So how do I get myself to quickly change a habit?

REMASTERED: Better Than Before: How To Change Your Habits, with Gretchen Rubin (Behavior, Productivity, Goal Setting, Self Improvement)
I love that. So there are some habits that are really simple, right? Like to use one of your examples is wearing a seatbelt. And then some are a little bit, they seem more involved or complex, like I'm trying to stop smoking or I'm trying to drink less or work out more. Do you feel like the same strategic plan works in both cases or is it different depending on the complexity of the habit?
