One of the best ways to build a new habit is to identify a current habit you already do each day and stack your new behavior on top of it.
Your brain builds strong synaptic connections for behaviors you do automatically. Habit stacking takes advantage of these existing neural networks.
The formula is: "After I [CURRENT HABIT], I will [NEW HABIT]."
This removes the ambiguity of "when" to do it. You can even create a habit stack—a whole routine chained together.
Don't leave your habits to chance. Anchor them to your reality. Build chains of behavior that pull you through the day automatically.
