Your habits only survive when life is stable.
You aren’t lazy. You’re running on empty.

Cheat Sheet & FAQThe protocol on one page, plus client questions
The setupOne habit, one if-then plan, and a fresh-start date.
PlantingThe minimum version only, even on good days.
RootingGrow the habit by 20–50%. Keep the cue identical.
OwnershipFull version. Skipping starts to feel like it isn’t you.
The problem was never information. It was the architecture: the cues, the stakes and the story I told about who I was.
At 18 I had three months to pass IELTS, and I studied five hours a day for all of them. This guide is the science behind that, a 90-day protocol that makes it practical, and the honest story of how it worked for me, twice.

Questions clients ask
Can I build two habits at the same time?
You can, but your odds drop. Start with one. Add the second only when the first scores 5+ out of 7 on automaticity, and stack it on the first.
I missed 5 days in a row. Do I start over?
No. Keep your count and come back today with the tiny version. The repetitions you already did still count.
Why 90 days? 30 sounds easier.
In research, the median habit took about 66 days to become automatic. At 30 days most habits are still fragile. 90 gives you the median plus a buffer.
Does this work for breaking a bad habit?
Yes, with one change: don’t just stop, replace. Keep the same cue, swap in a new response, and add friction to the old one.
