That is similar to my reasoning: I&#x27;ve kept to the changes I&#x27;ve made over the last couple of years by making them habit.<p>My general morning routine, when I don&#x27;t oversleep are am otherwise in more of a rush than usual, is now &quot;wake up, feed the cat, lavatory, check and note mass, dress, breakfast while checking messages, go to work&#x2F;other&quot;. Weighing myself weekly, or possibly even less often, would almost certainly suffice - but doing it more often keeps it habit and much reduces the risk that I&#x27;ll simply stop doing it at some point.<p>Similarly with exercise, while I don&#x27;t have a fixed schedule except where there are things I do with a group of people I do try do something (sometimes something small, but not nothing) at least every other day.<p>If something is a habit you notice when you miss it (your routine feels wrong because of the &quot;forgotten something&quot; feeling) which I find helps my self management. Of course you have to be careful not to care too much about the routine and the occasional missing something, or there is a risk it can become mentally unhealthy (which may be another reason people are careful about recommending daily measurements - it needs to become a <i>habit</i> not an <i>obsession</i>).
