A habit is a routine behavior that is repeated on a regular basis and can even occur subconsciously. Forming a habit requires discipline[1] and willpower[2].
The Atomic Habits book [citation needed] recommends focusing on systems instead of goals and building automatic, low mental effort, habits to improve your life. At the same time habits like smartphone 'addiction' can wreck productivity. Self tracking helps habit forming by identifying rewards of habit and what triggers current habit. It can also be used to encourage streaks and consistency.
