Creating habits follows the same pattern for creating anything.
1. Create a plan for what you are creating
2. Execute the plan
3. Reflect on how the execution is going and refine the plan
4. Repeat the process
Part of the plan for developing a habit includes the major components of a habit.
Each habit has a cue or a triggering mechanism, the routine or series of actions, and the reward.
Habits can be stacked together under the same cue. When multiple habits are triggered by the same cue, the habits can build on each other and become more effective.
