Your habits stick because they match your identity. If chaos or lateness or scarcity feels normal to you, you'll keep recreating it. Change the identity first, and the behavior follows.
This is the part that most people miss. Your identity isn't just about what you believe about yourself. Your identity determines what feels normal to you. And this is huge because people will almost always return to what feels normal. If chaos feels normal, you'll recreate chaos. If being late feels normal, you'll keep finding yourself rushing. If being broke feels normal, extra money finds a way to disappear. If procrastination feels normal, you'll wait until the pressure becomes so unbearable that you have no choice but to move, and then move.
