Health matters make my productivity incredibly variable. The number one thing that I've learned to apply to ANY long-term goals is:

Don't miss two days in a row.

That applies to any daily or near-daily task, or even things done three times a week. Forgot to brush my teeth yesterday? Do it as soon as I remember today, so that I haven't missed TWO days in a row. That's VERY likely to happen if I think, "Oh, I'll do that at bedtime and be right back on track!"

(ADHD stands up: Here, hold my-- wait, where did I leave that? Annnnyway...)
