#4Working on your own thing two hours before work, every work day.
The key is to wake up earlier, have a coffee, and just show up. Even if you don't feel like shipping, just write down your thoughts. Consistency keeps the habit going.

#7Turned my afternoon unhealthy snack time to an apple and a walk to the car after work by parking 1km away from the work place and putting an apple in my bag so everyday I have instantly got an apple, and am also forced to walk.
Morning me (that wakes up full of good intentions and motivation) sets up strategies for lazy afternoon me so lazy afternoon me can still be lazy but achieves the minor goals morning me see out to achieve.

All habits are self destructive.
Certainly not all habbits are destructive, you seem to confuse habbit with addiction. Addiction to smoking will give you cancer, you can deny it but after 30-40 years of doing this your lungs will tell you, that consequences are severe no matter what you keep telling yourself :) I lost family members to cancer due to cigareres and they were denying it pretty much till the end.

I'm not denying. I know the risks of smoking and that I will suffer a lot.
Do you understand and accept the risks of your habits?

I have a habit of reading while I eat. Explain how self-destructive? I don't want to shoot this theory down, it was an interesting thing to claim.
