Want to eat better? Build routines around grocery shopping and meal prep.
You want to build up your savings? Set up automatic savings because this method eliminates the need for you to manually handle your money.
The habit stacking technique allows you to create new habits by linking them to your current routines. (BooydeGraaff (2024) demonstrates this concept through his work. For example:
You should perform 10 push-ups after you finish brushing your teeth according to your current routine.
You should write down three things you are thankful for after you finish making your coffee.
The initial appearance of these minor adjustments does not reveal their cumulative value, which grows similarly to bank account interest.
Ignoring the Importance of Environment
Your environment creates more influence on your actions than you understand. ( Subramaniam (2025) The amount of junk food present in your home determines your likelihood to consume such food. Your phone becomes unproductive when it contains multiple apps that cause you to spend your time scrolling instead of concentrating.
People fail to keep their resolutions because they attempt to transform their personal behavior without making any modifications to their environment.
Do you want to eat better for your health? Your fridge should contain fresh produce along with healthy snack options. Want to read more? Books should find their way to your nightstand instead of your phone. You want to practice meditation more frequently. Create a peaceful area that functions as your personal spa space. You should observe the people who exist in your environment. The team members either support your growth or create obstacles that prevent your advancement. Your habits receive more influence from the people you choose to spend time with than you understand at first. (Peters et al. (2024) Choose wisely.
