A simple rule for lifelong habits: how I stuck with writing for 3652 days.

November 02, 2025 • Angela Shurina • Season 2025

Habits don’t fail you because you’re weak.

They fail because they’re stuck in the wrong place.

Let me explain...

Today we unpack a simple, powerful rule for consistency: put each habit where it naturally fits your life so it stops feeling like work.

Think of your day like a kitchen - your daily coffee maker sits by the water and the mugs, not in the back of a cabinet. Your routines deserve the same thoughtful placement.

Years of weekly training, hundreds of days of writing and language practice, and long-running reading and meditation - I break down exactly how the placement principle keeps these habits alive.

We explore how friction hides in tiny details: a gym that requires a drive, a planner out of reach, a walk in an unsafe or unpleasant area, or a “react first” habit embedded in chaotic meetings. When the tools, timing, and context don’t match the behavior, every repetition feels like a negotiation. When they do, starting will NEVER become automatic, habits will not survive.

You’ll learn how to find the perfect slot for each habit by mapping your energy peaks and valleys, pairing high-focus tasks with your sharpest hours and low-effort rituals with natural rhythms.

If your goal is lifelong change, design beats discipline: reduce friction, keep cues consistent, and let ease and automaticity grow from repetition.

Ready to make your routines feel seamless instead of heavy?

Press play, pick one habit, and move it to a better place in your day.

If this resonated, share it with a friend, start a mini listening club, and leave a quick review so more people can build habits that last.
