On habits ... You need to consciously arrange your time. the biggest leverage point here is picking what to work on. A good way to do this is to ruthlessly eliminate low-value tasks.
Focus on tiny gains, not exponential ones. Tiny gains over time compound over time. Focusing on day one exponential leaps is a recipe for disaster.
Measure your results, as this is going to be the feedback you need to track progress and course correct.
Focus on your environment (virtual and physical) as this nudges your subconscious and affects your habits.
And you want your habits to be part of who you are, but not to the point where you're an ass. (e.g., If you're a person who doesn't eat dessert, you don't have to make a choice to avoid dessert. It's just who you are.)
