James Clear, the author of New York Times bestsellerThe method of “habit-stacking” was coined by BJ Fogg, a renowned behaviour scientist, professor at Stanford University and author ofIt’s about building new habits on the back of existing ones you already do on autopilot.
“Habit-stacking is about enhancing what you already do to become healthier in mind and body, or more productive.”“Start by identifying what habit you’d like to integrate. Then consider the things you already do in a day that are similar or provide a window of time that fits your new habit. Some people might visualise the benefits it might bring when they nail it. The key is to keep the habits small with minimal disruption to your schedule and keep going until it feels completely natural.
“I take big goals and then think about what I need to do each day to get closer to them. For example, I want to land a book deal. I know that building a big audience that loves my writing will help me. So I create systems in my day to regularly share my personal stories and lessons learned on social media to build my audience and hone my writing skills, and eventually they turn into a habit.”
