I’ve just read choreographer Twyla Tharp’s excellent book “The Creative Habit”. She lives in Manhattan and gets a taxi every morning at 7am to the gym where she works out for two hours. The two hour gym routine was a daunting habit to build, so she just trained herself to get out of bed and hail a cab every morning.
In the cab ride, she then comes to terms with the inevitable two hour workout. Many ways to build good habits.
