We are too emotional to be consistent in our ‘good’ choices. So it’s much easier to automate at least part of the habit rather than to rely on ourselves.

For example, want to save? Build an automatic movement of $$ from your main account to your savings account as soon as the salary comes through, on your banking app.

Same for investments.

And even for say eating healthy: buying only healthy ingredients will force you to make healthy meals. Not fully automated, but it’s much easier to follow this rule than to make menús and trying sticking with them.
