The problem is that it takes someone else to remind you to do the thing often enough and with enough impetus to make it a habit
Which will only last until the first time you're sick and can't, and then that habit is gone
My phone does that for me. I use a habit tracker with undismissable notifications that take only a "Yes" or "No" answer (it's a bit more customizable, but this is how I use it), which helps keep me accountable for my habits.
Unfortunately, it's been almost 3 months for a habit that I'm trying to nail down and I still forget sometimes.

Seconded, I need this!

Thank you!
I've tried something like that.
But I'm unfortunately prone to leaving my phone in my bedroom, so it never works out
When I'm trying to habituate to something by myself, I usually do okay by setting up barriers. Can't do X because Y is in the way, so I handle Y, and eventually I'll usually just start doing Y as part of doing X, where X is something I want to do.
It takes a few weeks but it usually does work.
