Habit Building Cheat Sheet

People say they want to get better.

But most overcomplicate the process.

I used to struggle to get momentum going.

I’d set big goals, lose steam, and feel frustrated.

It took time, but I realized the key was to simplify.

Real growth? It starts with simple, doable habits. Make sense?

Here’s 9 methods to build something big:

Temptation Bundling
↳ Pair what you want with what you need.

Habit Stacking
↳ Link a new habit to something you already do daily.

Identity Habits
→ Shift your mindset. Don’t just say, “I want to read.” Say, “I am a reader.”

1% Better
↳ Focus on tiny improvements. A little progress each day adds up over time.

2-Minute Rule
↳ Start small. Commit to just 2 minutes, then add more time as it gets easier.

Environment Design
↳ Make success easy. Keep essentials in plain sight and eliminate distractions.

Don’t Break the Chain
↳ Stack a new habit after an existing one and do it daily. Consistency is what makes it stick.

Reflect and Adjust
↳ Check in weekly. If something isn’t working, adjust the time, place, or steps to make it easier.

Reward Yourself
↳ Celebrate each small win. Recognize your progress and give yourself a reward to stay motivated.

My favorite hack? The 2-Minute Rule. Starting small and working my way up each day really helps to form habits.
