Definitely, a few years ago I decided to try to live a bit healthier, I was over 81 kg and I wanted to get back to a number with a 7 in front. But I know myself, sometimes I have these primitive cravings where I really just want to eat a bag of crisps or chocolate and I just end up eating too much of it. I knew that if I wanted to loose weight trying to correct this behavior would just last until the moment I cave in.

So rather than tackling to cravings I tackled all the rest where I felt indifferent about. I started drinking coffee without sugar, rather than a sandwich I eat a salad for lunch when at work, pass on butter etc. Small things like that. These changes might seem trivial, but if you look at the amount of sugar and bad calories these represent on year basis the numbers are quite hallucinating. And the best part of it, it worked, I lost weight, feel better and those cravings that I just accept became way less. (It's crazy what effect sugar, junk food and alcohol have on your brain)

Another example is studying. I used to be a horrible student but I tend to keep studying even if I'm now working. Many colleges and universities have a lot of tools to combine working and studying and I'm from opinion someone should study there whole life. But rather than just hitting the books or assignments a few days before the exam or the deadline I now just try to learn one or two new things a day and repeat some of the things I learned the previous days. Might seem stupid but it hardly costs any energy, you remember the things way better even after the course is over. And the best part, I keep a healthy curiosity to gain more knowledge (something the modern educational system deprives you of)
