The best way to form a habit, I've found, is to schedule it. For example, clear your work and social calendars and just say between 4 and 430 everyday I will do X. And you do it at the same time, everyday until eventually you start to anticipate, o yeah it's almost 4, time to do X. And after a little while it just is a habit not. The first few days are tough because you really have to commit to doing it though

I don't know why I never thought of this, but scheduling would actually help. I would need to put it on my public work calendar to avoid work stuff, but I could name it anything. I'm on call via zoom or phone 24/7, so pseudo-scheduling anything is futile.
