Few days a go I finished reading "tribe of mentors" (a book where the author asks the same 11 questions to over 100 people - very good book). One of the people interviewed (I'm bad with names) said that he does something for a month now and again. One of his months was to read everyday. a month is 31 days. After the month he said that he now reads more than he did, but not everyday
I started intermittent fasting (in May) I only eat once a day. After all these months, it's still not a habit. The first week was very hard, but mostly from "Am I doing the right thing" kind of thing. But after that week, it never got easy, I just know I do not want to eat and that's it. Like you know at 4:30 I need to start the course. It's not a habit.
I did "morning pages" for 29 days. That is, writing 3 pages of anything every morning (by hand). After 29 I decided to stop. Whilst I planned to stop to take stock of what I gained from them (a lot). The point is it wasn't a habit. your 4:30am wake time is a habit. It can be broken, it it usually takes me a week to do so. I sometimes am a night owl and sometimes a early bird. When I decided to switch, it take about a week (with the help of coffee).
Right now, I'm trying to code whilst standing up, been doing it for less than a week, I can't see it becoming a habit :)
The point is, don't leave it up to your habit, keep doing what you are doing.
