I have always heard the saying, 'mind is a monkey'. Of late with the kind of network and connectivity, we have loads of information in much less than a click of a button. Multiple ideas and the need to jump from one source to another, not just makes us feel low in our self-esteem, but also the need to try everything. So, as a monkey, today we try different tools and land up getting sucked into the vacuum of trying and starting something new, before finishing the ones we started.

But to develop a new habit or replace an old one needs tremendous amount of consistency irrespective of how we feel at that time and space.
