Habit Stacking - Deepstash

Habit Stacking

Habit stacking is a technique in which we pair our new habit with the current habit that already exist.

The habit stacking formula is: After [CURRENT HABIT], I will [NEW HABIT].

Few examples of habit stacking

■ Healthy eating. When I serve myself a meal, I will always put veggies on my plate first.

■ Exercise. When I see a set of stairs, I will take them instead of using the elevator.

■ Forgetfulness. When I leave a public place, I will check the table and chairs to make sure I don’t leave anything behind.

■ Social skills. When I walk into a party, I will introduce myself to someone I don’t know yet
