Buy flossers and keep them somewhere to remind you to floss. I like to make myself floss before brushing my teeth at night, so if I brush I have to floss first!
Put it right by your toothbrush so that you will remember to grab the floss first. Have a set time to do it in your evening routine. I always do it right before I get in the showe while I wait for the water to warm up.
Put the floss beside the toothbrush. I was once told that it isn’t forgetting. It is choosing not to do something because we think we don’t have time.
I like to tie to something I do every morning so I’m sure to remember. For me, I also go to the bathroom when I wake up. I have my toothbrush and toothpaste in the bathroom already, so I wash my hands and go for it
Ugh . This one is hard. I think moving up in the evening closer to dinner helps. Waiting until I’m about to get into bed makes it harder.
Maybe move the habit in front of brushing your teeth? And move your floss next to your toothbrush. Doing them both back-to-back usually helps me 👍
Are you forgetting to floss or are you choosing not to? Tonight I almost didn’t floss my teeth because I’m tired and my laziness almost got the best of me. I reminded myself that being self-disciplined means pushing laziness to the side and continuing to do the job you agreed to do. Committing is easy, flowing through is difficult.
Would it help to take a piece of floss out of the container before you put your toothpaste on your toothbrush and leave it on the counter as a visual reminder? This has helped me make it part of my daily routine.
Keep your tooth brush, tooth paste and your floss next to Each other that way you will remember all 3 together and you won’t do 1 without doing all 3! Because if you make them accessible together it will be easier to remember all 3!!!
Put the floss right next to your toothbrush or light switch so you see it and then make it part of one of your routines
