Habit Stacking

When it comes to building new habits, you can use the connectedness of behavior to your advantage. One of the best ways to build a new habit is to identify a current habit you already do each day and then stack your new behavior on top.

Fogg’s habit stacking formula is:

“After I [CURRENT HABIT], I will [NEW HABIT].”

Ex:

After I take off my work shoes, I will immediately change into my workout clothes.
