How do you stay consistent when family gets boring when life is busy?

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. school got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. Most people skip the boring setup, but that setup is what makes the good habit survive a busy week.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

Come back with what happened; the details will make the next answer better.

This is the gentle version of my rant.

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. The first week version is even more interesting.
