and he was like, oh, I'm gonna do like 20 minutes a day.

It's great.

He put the guitar in his closet.

That was enough for him to completely forget that it was there because visibly there's no, the visual cue is gone, right?

So the way a habit works is you have the habit loop, right?

You have the cue or the trigger or the prompt.

This is the thing that says, do this now.

So if you pick up your phone, it might be because someone's ringing you, right?

That's your trigger.

In terms of the guitar playing, he needed the visual cue of like, oh, I see it.

He didn't have the cue.

He put it away.

He forgot it was there.

So because the trigger was removed, the behavior doesn't happen.

he was like, okay, this isn't happening, what am I missing?

Okay, what I did was, okay, I pulled the guitar out of the closet and I put it in the living room where I would pass it every day.

So now I can see it, I became a lot better at remembering to practice because the cue is there.

So what can you do, whatever it is you wanna do, for example, you wanna get in the habit of taking creatine or your daily medication, but you always forget because it's in the cupboard.

What I do with my prenatals right now, because I'm pregnant.

I was like, I may as well.
