There’s a defect in the implementation of good habits. Two, actually.
The first is that we think that a good habit is good, so we do more of it. And if we know anything, it’s that too much of a good thing is a bad thing. Yet without acknowledging where the optimal rhythm is with a habit, we default to too much.
The second is that we think that a good habit is always good, so we never stop it. It’s a misstep in our thinking, a hiccup in our rationale. Running 8 miles a day might be a wonderful habit, but 8 miles might not be the right distance three years from now. Writing a book a year might be a wonderful habit, but it might do more harm than good once you’ve also started a family.
This doesn’t mean to quit the healthy habit; it merely means that we need to refine them.
