I found this whole Sequence compelling and insightful so far. Any specific tips on how to break persistent habits that are context/cue independent? (eg: I twist my beard periodically, throughout the day, especially when engaged in some other activity, like say reading.)
Alas, for cue independent habits, I’m not quite sure what would be effective. (The literature doesn’t cover these well.) For a probably ineffective start, maybe consider intentionally substituting something else at the times where you notice yourself doing the thing the most?

Thanks!
