I recommend a dry erase board with items you check off daily with the final item being to erase all the checkmarks for the day.
This makes things like stretching, 10 min meditation, flossing, snacking on nutrient rich foods easier to ingrain as habits.
I found a dry erase board to work much better than anything printed or digital.
Also: Don’t forget to take into account the range of possible gain/loss in utility from a decision when deciding how much time to spend analyzing your decision. Many decisions that seem hard are only difficult because the outcomes are so close in utility (e.g. peanut butter A instead of peanut butter B).
I’d also like to say that in general I find checklists, catchphrases, and rules of thumb et al to be MUCH more useful in behavior modification than anything more rigorous. A leaky abstraction that you actually use (and moves you even somewhat closer to optimality) is better than the perfect heuristic you don’t use.
