It’s similar to how you get yourself into an exercise routine, or really any habit you’re trying to maintain long-term. It’s about consistency and doing something that’s repeatable. Going all out a few times is probably going to burn you out, even breaking the habit once before it’s become your routine can be enough to set a precedence and you fall out of it. But if you start out slow with the bare minimum that you can achieve on a regular basis, even on a bad day, then it’s more likely to eventually just become second nature. Then you start expanding it and adding on to it as you get bored/comfortable with the routine.
