A habit is a small action you repeat until it becomes automatic. Most habits follow a loop: a cue reminds you, you do the routine, and you get a reward. For example, a note on your desk is the cue, packing your bag is the routine, and feeling ready for tomorrow is the reward. Starting tiny helps habits stick. If the step is easy and quick, your brain celebrates success and wants to repeat it again.

Sleep, Screens, and Routines
Good sleep is a powerful habit. A steady routine—like washing up, preparing clothes, and reading—tells your brain it is time to rest. Limiting screens before bed protects your sleep because bright light can make you feel wide awake. A calm bedroom, a regular bedtime, and a cool, dark space help you fall asleep faster. When you wake up rested, it is easier to focus in class, be patient with others, and make healthy choices all day.

Practice Makes Progress
Good habits grow when you track small wins and keep going after mistakes. A checklist or calendar can show your progress day by day. If you miss a day, restart at the next chance instead of waiting. Pair new habits with ones you already have, such as stretching after you brush your teeth or reading after dinner. Linking habits to a regular event makes them easier to remember and repeat over time.
