Habit Stacking for a Healthier Lifestyle

Program Modules
Define Your Healthy Habit Goals

“"Make it obvious."”
Determine Time and Place
OnceDecide when and where you will perform each new habit (morning, evening, afternoon). Consider using implementation intentions: "I will [NEW HABIT] at [TIME] in [LOCATION]."
Analyze Your Existing Daily Routine
Examine your current daily routine (morning, evening, or afternoon) to identify existing habits.
Morning Routine Analysis
OnceDetail your current morning routine. What do you do first thing in the morning? Are there any habits you can piggyback off of?
Evening Routine Analysis
OnceDetail your current evening routine. What do you do before going to bed? Look for routines that are already automatic.
Stacking the New Habit
Attach the new habit to an existing one. Give it an honest try for a full month. Remember, 'After [CURRENT HABIT], I will [NEW HABIT]'.
Attach New Habit
OnceIdentify which existing habit will trigger your new habit. Write down the 'If/Then' statement. Consider making it attractive (James Clear).
“"After [CURRENT HABIT], I will [NEW HABIT]"”
30-Day Trial & Self-Monitoring
Daily 30xCommit to performing the stacked habit every day for 30 days. Track your progress and adjust if needed. What obstacles did you face? What rewards did you give yourself?
