You only have so many hours in your day. Change a routine, and you can change the way you work.

Time for a quiz.

c

She should choose an easier habit to adopt if she wants it to actually succeed.

d

She should change her cue, so that she is more likely to change the routine.

The correct answer is B.

To fully bring running into her life, Agnes should choose a reward that motivates her to keep up the habit. Doughnuts won't do that.
