One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
If you are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
