How do you actually build a routine that sticks ?

Not get too strict at first .

For me it was small manageable changes and it will build up overtime. Can't do 10k steps daily? start with 2k daily. Can't cut soda out of your diet? Switch to diet/zero soda, then water it down til its just eventually water.

Start ridiculously small. Not 'go for a 30-minute run,' but 'put on running shoes and walk to the end of the driveway.' Do that for a week until it's automatic. Also, the two-day rule. Never, ever miss two days in a row. One day off is a rest. Two days off is the start of a new, bad habit of not doing the thing.

It has to be realistic, and you have to stack mini habits to get you there, want to go the gym, pack your back the night before, make sure you have to walk past the gym to get to your next task that day

start small and be consistent, gradual progress is key

Start stupidly small. If you want to work out, just put on your gym shoes. That’s it. Once you’re in the shoes, you’ll probably do something

Stop trying to build a "perfect routine" and build a repeatable one. If it's too ambitious, you'll quit. If it's easy, you'll stick with it.

Usually start with something small I can stick with. Rn working hard to keep my tennis routine! That’s working so far

Small steps and not overly strict about it, have that routine together with something you're already accustomed to. You'll eventually stopped thinking it as a task but something you want to do because of the convenience. Like I want to go for a run, I'll do it together when I bring my dogs out for a walk. Now I go for a run after walking the dogs, because I'm already used to it.

Start stupidly small like so easy you can’t skip it and do it at the same time every day until it feels automatic

Reduce friction to start the thing (that means make it very easy to get to it when you want to), start small, what counts is actually doing it, even if it's 5 min and lastly, focus on what you enjoy about the experience and not on the end goal

Start with small steps , like make your bed for 15 days thn add something more

Do not apply too much pressure on yourself.. Start your morning before sunrise.. Be consistent on whatever you are doing, it get bored sometime. But still..
