#177 The Psychology of Habit Stacking | The Easiest Way to Build New Habits

Want to build a new habit but can't seem to make it stick? This episode will show you why starting from scratch is so hard, and how stacking new habits onto ones you already do makes change so much easier. Recorded from a hotel bed in Boston a few days out from the Boston Marathon, this solo episode breaks down what habit stacking is, why it works, and how to use the simple "after I do X, I will do Y" formula to slide positive habits into your day. Plus the work of James Clear (Atomic Habits) and Dr BJ Fogg (Tiny Habits) that underpins it all. If you've been trying to start a new habit and it's just not landing, this one's for you. Your homework: Pick one habit you already do without thinking. Stack one new positive behaviour on top of it. Let us know how you go.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
