Temporal landmarks are dates or times of significance that draw a psychological boundary between one era or phase in life and another (like New Year, Mondays, birthdays, or intraday hours), and they produce a 'fresh start effect' that can be leveraged within a single 24-hour cycle for continuous behavioral reset.

Evidence Quote

Temporal landmarks serve as markers in time that separate our past selves from our future selves, and these landmarks produce a fresh start effect. If you adopt intraday temporal landmarks that occur within the 24-hour cycle, you get this continuous fresh start effect, which ends up leading to behavioral consistency.
