Habit stacking is the practice of pairing a new habit with an existing one to create a sequence of actions that become automatic.

Identify Current Habits

To start habit stacking, identify the current habits that you already do each day.
For example, if you make coffee every morning, use that as the anchor for your new habit.
Begin by adding a new habit right after your current one.

Start Small

When you're creating new habits, it's important to start small.
Make the habit something that's easy to do, and that you can stick with.
For example, if you want to start exercising every day, start with just 5 minutes a day.

Track Your Progress

Tracking your progress is key to building new habits.
Use a habit tracker to keep track of your daily habits.
This will help you stay motivated, and see the progress you're making.

The Formula

After I [current habit], 
I will [new habit].
After I [current habit], I will [new habit].

Takeaway

Incorporating new habits into your daily routine can be challenging, but habit stacking makes it easier.
By pairing a new habit with an existing one, you can create a sequence of actions that become automatic.
Start small, track your progress, and soon you'll be on your way to creating long-lasting habits.
