RE: How to change a habit
It would be interested to remember why did you started and how you felt back then when doing it. I'm almost sure that now you don't have the same need/ gain from this habit. It could help in understanding the basic of it. Thanks for the comment:)
Studying and reading. I think it was my way of tolerating the unnatural demands of sitting still for extended periods. Now it creeps up when I have deadlines and a lot of work to do in a short time and have to force myself to sit still and work. Or so it seems... It happens less now, now that I am better at managing time.
how did you enhanced your time management?
That took years to learn; but it was a combination of quitting things like social media (I've been facebook free for 3 years), online shopping, and playing "procrastination" games. Then I started getting my hardest work (i.e. writing) done first thing in the morning so I wasn't "cramming" every night. And specifically, relating to my restless hands, I began doing more activities that engaged both of my hands like gardening, cooking, and crocheting.
A lot of new habits there and a continuous work. I feel you about being restless, it's my biggest saboteur and I try also to use my hands more in physical activities. This calms me down. Thanks for sharing
