TIL my mail carrier in Des Moines taught me how to actually keep a walking habit going

I tried walking 30 minutes every morning for like 2 months and kept skipping days, then one Tuesday my mail carrier Carla saw me out there again and said she just parks her car 15 minutes from the route and walks that part instead of trying to squeeze in a separate walk. That one swap fixed it for me, because now the habit rides along with something I have to do anyway. Six months in and I have not missed a weekday yet. Does anyone else have a habit that only stuck once you attached it to something you already do?
