What's one tiny time-saver (≤10 min/day) that actually made healthy choices easier?

Quick one: what's one small change you added that saved you under 10 minutes a day but helped you stick to better food, movement, sleep, or routines? Think simple things—like a prep tweak for weekday tiffins, a two-minute morning habit, or a mini walk during tea break. What was it and why did it actually stick?

Left my walking shoes + a light hoodie by the front door. Sounds trivial, but it shaves 3–5 minutes of faff and removes the “do I really want to get changed?” barrier. Now I’ll toss them on and do a 10–15 minute walk between meetings or after dinner most days. It stuck because it’s a literal visual trigger and requires zero planning — if the shoes are there I just step out. Anyone else use a tiny visual cue like that?

Use an "if–then" tiny-habit: pick a stable cue in your day, make the new action 1–2 minutes and very specific, and attach a tiny immediate reward. (Examples: "After I brush my teeth, I put my lunchbox in the bag" or "After I turn off my alarm, I put on my workout shorts and do a 2‑minute stretch.") Behavioral research shows specific implementation intentions and habit-stacking greatly increase follow-through compared with vague goals.
