If you want to read more before bed each night, start by reading one page. If the goal is to write a book, start by writing one sentence each day. The idea is to scale down a habit so that it is more attractive and you are more likely to continue repeating the habit. As Clear said, “It is easier to associate a new habit with a new context than to build a new habit in the face of competing cues.” It’s no wonder working from home can be more difficult if you don’t have a designated space to do so.Ĭlear’s two-minute rule states that when you start a new habit, it shouldn’t take longer than two minutes to complete. Once we understand the relationships we have with the spaces we occupy, we can use that knowledge to help form better habits and break unproductive ones. Working from the comfort of your bed may sound nice but can be much more difficult if your bed is already associated with a place of rest.

If your morning routine consists of waking up, brushing your teeth, and pouring a cup of coffee, insert “meditate for five minutes” before you have your coffee. For example, if you want to create the habit of meditating each morning but find yourself forgetting or not having the time, the best way to fix this is by inserting it with another habit. Habit stacking is a formula for ensuring that your new habits don’t fall to the wayside. The easiest way to introduce a new habit into your daily routine is to implement it with other habits you already have. A post shared by Free People Movement Start habit stacking
