The trick for anything is time and consistency. Choose two or three things from this list and plan when you will devote a few hours each week. During your "practice" time, find and use learning resources online.

Some of these ideas are also shorter-term kind of forming things (like avoid brain rot, touch more grass), so I would also dedicate time weekly to think of/plan concrete changes in your life to accomplish them. Rotate through the list until the habit is fully formed.
