You are doing something you know is stupid and you want to change. But you find you have no will to act.

1. Recognize that you have to become a fanatic for
your new behaviours.

2. Write out a set of clearly defined simple actions to follow in specific situations.
Be detailed. Do not leave anything to chance.
If there's a phone number to call, write it down.
If there's something to say, write it out.
Set it up so you don't have to think about anything.

3. When the time comes for action,
get out the list of things to do
and mindlessly slide through every simple step
as it is laid out before you.
