How habit stacking works: Attach a new behavior to an action you already do consistently. Formula: After/Before [current habit], I will [new habit], because it helps me become [identity]. Keep the first version easy enough to win on your worst day.
Cue → Routine → Reward Model
Cue
The cue is the trigger that tells your brain to start the behavior. Use reliable anchors: waking up, brushing teeth, pouring coffee, arriving home, opening your laptop, or finishing dinner.
Best cues are visible, specific, and already part of your day.
Routine
The routine is the action itself. Start with a version so small you cannot rationalize skipping it: one glass of water, two minutes of stretching, one mindful breath, one page read.
Consistency beats intensity in the first 30 days.
Reward
Reward closes the loop and teaches your brain that the behavior is worth repeating. Use immediate rewards such as checking off your tracker, saying “done,” enjoying a cup of tea, or noticing the emotional win: calmer, clearer, more energized, more in control.

Rules for the Next 90 Days
| Rule | Commitment |
|---|
| Never miss twice | If I miss one day, I restart the next available rep immediately. |
| Reduce the size, not the standard | On low-energy days I do the smallest version instead of skipping completely. |
| Track daily | I score completion the same day so the feedback loop stays honest. |
| Review weekly | I adjust friction, cues, and environment every 7 days. |
| Protect identity | I vote for the kind of person I want to become with each repetition. |

Tracking tip: If you miss a target, record it honestly and look for the friction point. Was the cue weak, the habit too big, the environment messy, or the time unrealistic?
