How habits work
The main components of habit formation:
- A Cue: It causes your brain to begin a behavior. It is a bit of information that predicts a reward.
- A Craving: It is the motivation behind every habit. Without a desire, we don't have a reason to act.
- A Response: This is the very habit you perform; it can take the form of a thought or an action.
- A Reward: The end goal of every habit.

To form habits, you must make them obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying.
- Make it obvious. Don’t hide your fruits in your fridge, put them on display front and center.
- Make it attractive. Start with the fruit you like the most, so you’ll actually want to eat one when you see it.
- Make it easy. Don’t create needless friction by focusing on fruits that are hard to peel. Bananas and apples are super easy to eat, for example.
- Make it satisfying. If you like the fruit you picked, you’ll love eating it and feel healthier as a result!
A habit tracker is a fun and easy way to ensure you stick to your new behaviors
The idea is simple: You keep a record of all the behaviors you want to establish or abandon and, at the end of each day, you mark which ones you succeeded with. This record can be a single piece of paper, a journal, a calendar, or a digital tool, like an app.
