# The Daydreamer habit type

You mean it, then the day runs off with you and it slips your mind. A nudge at the right time is all you need.

## What a Daydreamer is like

You don't lack the wish to do it. You remember your habit at the wrong moments: in the shower, on the bus, just as you fall asleep. By the time you could do it, your head is somewhere else.

That isn't laziness. A full day pushes small things out of mind, and a habit with no set moment is the first to go.

### What trips you up

- A habit with no set time, so it floats around the day and lands nowhere.
- Busy days that pull your attention one way, then another.
- Evenings that disappear into your phone before you remember.

## What helps

- **Tie it to something you do.** Floss right after you brush. Take your vitamins with breakfast. The first thing reminds you of the second, which is all [habit stacking](https://www.cozyhabittracker.com/blog/habit-stacking) is.
- **Give it a moment.** Pick when it happens: morning, midday, evening or before bed. A habit with a moment has a place to happen, like a step in your [morning routine](https://www.cozyhabittracker.com/routines/morning-routine).
- **Let something remind you.** A note on the mirror, a book on your pillow, or a nudge on your phone at the time you'll really be free.

## Habits that suit a Daydreamer

- **Take my vitamins** (Every day, Morning): Keep them next to your mug, so breakfast does the reminding.
- **Drink water** (3 times a day, Anytime): One glass in the morning, one at lunch, one in the afternoon. Count each one.
- **Phone away at 10** (Every day, Before bed): A nudge a few minutes before 10 is often all it takes.
- **Plan my day** (Weekdays, Morning): Two minutes with your coffee, on weekdays only.

Every habit here can be made in Cozy, with its sticker, its color and its days.

## Questions

### Why do I keep forgetting my habits?

Often because the habit has no set moment. Tie it to something you already do each day, or set a reminder for a time you'll really be free.

### Is it bad to need reminders?

Not at all. A reminder is a tap on the shoulder, nothing more, and plenty of people keep habits with one for years.

### What's a good first habit for a Daydreamer?

One that fits a moment you never skip, like breakfast or brushing your teeth, and small enough to do the second you remember.
