You can edit an existing habit to become a high value routine. Here's how - 

• Prioritize - focus on what's most important (ex. performance mgmt.) 
• Focus - tackle 1 routine at a time (ex. coaching employees)
• Visualize - think of the settings you encounter each day (ex. mid-morning coffee break)
• Self-assess - consider the habits you've developed in each setting (ex. "I make small talk with people present") 
• Edit - insert your high value routine into the existing habit

Routines are MUCH easier to develop if you attach them to existing habits. 

What your routine might look like 

• Mid-morning coffee break (existing habit)
• Engage people in small talk (existing habit) 
• Probe for coaching opportunities (new routine)
