Any good outcome needs a good plan.  A series of events in place that determines step by step how we are going to approach a task.  Part of those plans are being able to create 'good habits' that help make something routine.  Achieving goals requires consistency.  Achieving consistency requires creating reinforcing, positive behaviour that works towards the final goal.   Creating good habits means creating something we do that may not even require a conscious decision.  Good habits make conquering goals easier for ourselves.
