Guides / Breaking habits

Replace, don't just remove

Fill the gap.

4 min read

Removing a habit leaves a gap. Filling it with something better makes the change easier.

Examples

  • Scrolling in bed: replace with reading a book
  • Afternoon snack from the vending machine: bring a snack from home
  • Checking email first thing: write your top task first
  • Impulse online shopping: add items to a 30-day list
