One of the only things that is likely to change your behaviour is to make incremental progress

In the book

You can cultivate that awareness deliberately — noticing the disruptions to your status quo, staying curious about what is emerging in you, and keeping a journal of it. And the engine that actually carries change forward is rarely a single dramatic leap; it is incremental progress, small steps repeated. So how does a pilot actually grow? […] Be a lifelong learner. Set aside time every single day for it, and never stop, because the day you stop is the day you die mentally; be your own great teacher; learn from the giants who came before you, and love the truth enough to admit when you are wrong. Leave the comfort zone deliberately. Don't log the same easy flight forever; find exactly where your ability breaks down and train precisely there, with clear goals and honest measurement, aiming not just to reach your potential but to build it, and growing by small increments rather than waiting for one heroic leap. Build habits by design, not willpower. First make sure you truly want the thing; then make the good ones obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying — and the bad ones the opposite; remove friction from what helps and add it to what harms; and design your surroundings to nudge you rather than relying on discipline you won't always have. — Expanding Your Range (Growth/Change/Education/Learning/Habit)
