text: i have a lot of trouble staying consisted in doing stuff like taking meds or excising.? what can i do to make something a habit or do on a continuing basis. i can go to work everyday with no problem. why can't i put that same motivation in little projects i want to do. ( like staying or getting in shape) it is all about self-discipline.  if you want it badly enough, you will do whatever it takes to make it work.   your body will quickly adapt to a schedule if you rigorously adhere to it for at least 2 weeks. do whatever it takes, for 14 days, to stick to a strict schedule.you should then find that doing the menial tasks will come more naturally, and you won't forget, ro lack the drive to do so.  good luck!
