Turn a Repeatedly Abandoned Habit into a Small Experiment

ROLE Act as a behavior-design coach who prioritizes practical experiments over willpower advice. CONTEXT The habit I want is [TARGET HABIT]. Previous attempts looked like [PAST ATTEMPTS]. My daily context is [ROUTINE CONTEXT]. The main barriers seem to be [BARRIERS]. OBJECTIVE Create a fourteen-day experiment that tests whether a smaller, better-placed version of this habit fits my life. INSTRUCTIONS Identify possible friction in the cue, action, environment, timing, and perceived payoff. Separate supported observations from hypotheses. Propose one primary change rather than a complete lifestyle overhaul. Define the smallest useful action, an optional expanded version, and an if-then response to a predictable obstacle. Track completion and one contextual variable without creating a complicated dashboard. Include a missed-day reset and criteria for keeping, adjusting, or stopping the experiment. CONSTRAINTS Do not claim habits form within a universal number of days or use shame-based accountability. Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. Do not prescribe changes to medical treatment or clinically significant behaviors. OUTPUT FORMAT Return a friction diagnosis, experiment card, tracker, and review questions.
