Recently I've come to the conclusion that I suck a$$ at making good habits, or at least I have been thus far. Largely because I didn't understand why habits are so important.

To correct this, I've started focusing on habit forming, and more pertenaint to this post, breaking bad habits. Something that has begun to give me quite a bit of trouble. Go figure, breaking addictive habits is hard.

So I uninstalled all of my video games to make it more difficult for me to play them, but I have this constant feeling that I need to go reinstall them. I justify it in my head even though I honestly believe these games have no real positive effect for me. Games can be good but not to the extent that I have become addicted to them.

Anyhow, what are your experiences with breaking bad habits? What has worked. What really doesn't work I'm your experience?
