Ask HN: I keep forgetting the new habits I'm trying to form

This is something I have been struggling with: Let's say the habit I want to form is daily meditation - research the topic a bit why this habit would beneficial - make a plan to meditate for 10 min every day - set up a daily reminder on my phone - first day: do a 10 min session - second day: do a 10 min session - third day: something happens and I skip the session - fourth day: I skip the session - fifth day: I skip the session etc. (and ignore the daily reminder on my phone) - a few weeks later: I am suddenly reminded of the habit I tried to form Any ideas how I can prevent losing track of the new habit after skipping once or twice? Or how I could regain my focus faster than after a few weeks?
