There are several habits that are complex and you don’t to learn them as a beginner and you can start with small habits at first and grow them slowly. They are easy and growable in less time. I call them minimalistic or simple habits.

I advise you to trick yourself by using the 21/90 method. This method is so simple, and it only tricks your mind and helps you overcome your bad habits and learn simple habits in less time.

This method tells that it takes 21 days to form a habit and 90 days to form a lifestyle with the habit you grow in you. Therefore, start with one habit and follow it for 21 days and then see its result and continue to apply it for 90 days and it becomes part of your lifestyle.
