Cannot recommend Atomic Habits enough.

Basic theory is: Don’t focus on goals. Aim for processes which are easy, repeatable and rewarding. Before you know it you’ve blown the goal out of the park.

I had a job where an aspect was handling internal tickets for our team, a shared responsibility. I paired my habit of making a coffee with reading an open ticket. I also added a bookmark to make getting to the ticket list easy. Team’s open tickets quickly reduced and I didn’t even make _closing_ them part of my process... it just tended to happen.

Get the book though, it’s a quick read and packed with solid advice.
