I think the tiny habit that worked for me the best when I was learning Blender was the following: As soon as I turned on my computer, I opened Blender and CG Cookie, absolutely the first thing always. Because it is so easy to get sidetracked with everything you have access to that steals from your attention on the internet. If I was working on a blend file, opened that up first and something, no matter how small, no matter what anything. Don’t open the web browser, don’t open the music app, always Blender and CG Cookie first. This way I got absorbed quickly into productivity mode, my brain was like well since I’m here, I might as well continue doing this.
