reading 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear
and this point comes up. Lots of good stuff in there that I'd like to apply, and have every intention of doing so. but in addressing common problems or hurdles that people face in forming and adhering to habits, its noticeable that he doesn't address the realities of having small children and how challenging it can be to institute structure when you've got kids.

he writes things like "When me and my wife get home from work, if we put on our workout clothes, we will actually go and work out. the habit of putting on exercise clothes in the cue to our brains that it is time to exercise. but if we don't do that, we'll likely find ourselves watching netflix on the couch"

and i'm like "if putting on your workout clothes is the primary obstacle to you maintaining consistent workout schedule, you dont have small kids".
