A short YouTube clip by Rich Bello giving a concise habit-formation tip: when you have a positive impulse (e.g., to work out), act within five seconds before your mind invents excuses. He recommends immediately seizing the moment, setting up cues (e.g., put workout clothes on), and repeating the action frequently to build the habit.

When you get a thought to do something good, you better do it within five seconds or your mind will come up with reasons not to do it. Seize the moment while you can. Otherwise your mind will come up with the reasons not to do it. And do this as often as possible. You think to work out. Boom. Seize the moment. Get home. Set yourself up for success. Make sure you put your workout clothes on. Any positive habit. You got to seize the moment and do it and then still it. Just do it over and over again.
