Habit: Drinks water and reads

In a playful 2022 Today Show exchange, Ina Garten responded to Reese Witherspoon’s Instagram post about healthy habits—like drinking water in the morning, reading more, and winding down early—with her humorous take on habit-forming. “My formula is easier to follow,” Garten quipped.

“1. Drink more large Cosmos. 2. Stay up late watching addictive streaming series. 3. Stay in bed in the morning playing sudoku instead of reading a good book.” Garten’s lighthearted routine pokes fun at the self-improvement craze, showing that comfort and a little indulgence sometimes make for the best life hacks.
