Old Habit

Feeling

unfulfilled and unproductive

Craving/Wanting

Wanting to get work done without the kids around and distractions.

Action

I stay up too late because I want to keep pushing.

Outside Influences

I have kids that I homeschool, and so therefor my work time during the day is very limited.

Problems

When I stay up late. the next day I feel too tired.

Entire Routine

It’s night time, we put the kids to bed and then I go to work. I stay up until midnight, having to wake up the next morning with the kids at 6am.

New Habit

Replacement Method

Replace action with something similar 

New Action 

I will carve out more dedicated time on the weekends, and scheduled quiet time each day to get a few hours of work in.

New Routine

Test Replacement Routines

Everyday at 1pm to 3pm will be quiet time where the kids pick an activity such as reading, painting, drawing, building, stretching, or listening to music on their headphones.
