I have a problem of convenience, my goals are being affected because either I don't start something because the "start up" cost is too high, or when I do start something the "maintenance" cost is too high.

For example, dieting. I want to make incremental changes to my diet, but the start up cost of cooking is higher than something more convenient. Or I try to build the habit of running but the maintenance cost of how much time I spend doing it eats away from the ease of doing leisure or computer work.

I'd like to break my cycle of "this is more convenient", so if anyone has any advice I'd greatly appreciate it.

To be clear, if there's no way to just be rid of my convenience mindset, I'd like to start setting up my life so that good habits come easy and bad ones are challenging
