One of the better ways of breaking out of a bad habit cycle is to change your environment and reduce distractions that prevent you from getting things done or promote a bad habit. If I have my phone nearby when I am sitting down to study, I will be tempted to look at it every five minutes. If I keep my phone on silent and then keep it in the same room and within arm's length, it is worse for my concentration because I have two distracting thoughts occurring, first being the anxiety of missing a message on my phone since it is in silent mode and the second would be to just do a quick check to see if the world has fallen apart in the 40 seconds I last checked my phone in. I would rather just get rid of the phone from my eyesight altogether.
Coming back to the gist of the article, it stated that to break a bad habit cycle, one definitely needs to change their environment to one which is devoid of all distractions that can prevent the successful execution of the above stated task.
