We all have a time preference for immediate rewards. For your bad habits, the immediate outcome is often favorable. With good habits, though, it's often the reverse. It's that misalignment bet n the immediate reward and the ultimate reward that makes it so easy for us to build bad habits. You need to find ways to get that preference to work for you.
