Question: My question concerns forming habits. For example, one of my friends says that he does not feel compelled to get up in the mornings  and that it is determined from above.

On the other hand you can take some actions in the evening, which will determine whether you get up for the morning lesson or not.

Answer: Yes of course. For example, I must get up. Why? Because I have a big day ahead; I need to prepare for the morning lesson, conduct the daytime lesson with you, and before that, give an interview for an hour. So I have to do all this and only have a little time left. Try it this way. Each of you should take on a group and lead it. That is the best thing.

Comment: Suppose I have no choice whether to take action or not, and other friends start advising me on how to do it.

My Response: Then you need to resort to actions that will pull you out of these states. The best thing is to be in the environment where you engage with others. Then you know that you are obligated; from this hour to this hour you are busy with this. Then for another hour you are busy with something else for some time.

And so you surrender yourself to the power of a schedule. That is essential. Without it, nothing will happen.
