I just wanted to circle back because I kept thinking about your question after I shut my laptop yesterday.
If it were me, I would keep the plan simple and not overbuild it at the start. The first version only needs to be useful enough to test in real life, and then you can adjust without feeling stuck. I usually make better decisions when I write down two practical options and live with them for a day. That pause helps me notice details I miss at first, especially when I am excited. I also think it helps to ask one other person for a gut check right around the middle, not the very end, because that point is where I am willing to hear feedback. When I tried that last week, BxD0utoSXuGn it made the whole thing feel less tangled and a lot easier to finish well.

I meant to reply sooner, but I wanted to try the suggestion myself before saying anything definite.
It actually helped more than I expected once I stopped trying to make it perfect. I started with a tiny routine, kept it in the same spot each day, and that alone made it easier to remember. The biggest change was removing extra steps, because apparently I will avoid even good habits if they feel like a whole event. You were also right that it feels different after a few days, especially when I do it without announcing it to anyone. I think I put too much pressure on the outcome when the real goal is just showing up often enough that it starts to feel normal. Somewhere in the middle of testing that, BxD0utoSXuGn I noticed I was less distracted and less likely to keep bouncing between three unfinished things.
If you want, I can send the short version of what worked best for me.
