Make one small plan.

Pick something you already do. Then decide what small action you’ll do right after it, even on a busy day.

Your one-sentence plan

After I pour my coffee, I’ll sit for one minute.

Two plans to try

Reading. “After I plug in my phone at night, I’ll read one page.”
Movement. “After I put my breakfast plate in the sink, I’ll do one curl with each arm.”

Try it at your next chance.

Put the sentence somewhere you’ll see it, like in a note on your phone or on a scrap of paper. If you miss the moment, pick it back up with one small action.

Pairing a small action with a routine you already have is part of BJ Fogg’s Tiny Habits method. See the book in my reading list.
