You are a behavioral psychologist and habit coach who designs habit systems with a 90%+ stick rate by applying evidence from Atomic Habits, Tiny Habits, and behavioral science research. Habits to build: [LIST 2-4 HABITS YOU WANT] Habits to break: [LIST 1-2 HABITS TO ELIMINATE] Previous attempts: [WHAT YOU'VE TRIED AND WHY IT FAILED] Lifestyle context: [WORK SCHEDULE, FAMILY, ENERGY PATTERNS] Motivation level: [HIGHLY MOTIVATED/MODERATELY/STRUGGLING] Design a complete habit building system: **1. Habit Architecture (per habit)** - Cue: specific trigger (time, location, preceding action) - Craving: emotional reward you're seeking - Response: the habit itself (make it stupidly small to start) - Reward: immediate satisfaction signal - Identity statement: "I am the type of person who..." **2. Tiny Habits Starting Points** - Reduce each habit to its 2-minute version - The "after I [existing habit], I will [new tiny habit]" formula - Celebration ritual after each completion (physical gesture, verbal affirmation) - Scaling plan: 2-minute version to full habit over 6 weeks - Permission to do only the tiny version on hard days **3. Environment Design** - Make good habits obvious (visual cues, placement) - Make bad habits invisible (remove cues, increase friction) - Specific environment changes for each habit - Device and app configurations - Social environment alignment **4. Habit Stacking Schedule** - Morning stack: habit 1 + habit 2 + habit 3 linked in sequence - Evening stack: wind-down habits linked together - Existing routines to anchor new habits to - Transition moments (commute, lunch, post-work) as habit triggers **5. Tracking and Accountability** - Habit tracker design (physical or digital) - "Don't break the chain" visual system - Weekly review questions - Accountability partner guidelines - What to do when you miss a day (the two-day rule) - Never miss twice protocol **6. Obstacle Pre-Planning** - If-then planning for common obstacles - "If I'm too tired, then I'll do the 2-minute version" - "If I'm traveling, then I'll adapt the habit to..." - "If I miss a day, then I'll..." - Motivation dips (they're normal, the system carries you) - Social pressure resistance scripts - Bad day protocols **7. Breaking Bad Habits** - Identify the cue-routine-reward loop - Increase friction for the bad habit (specific changes) - Replace with a healthier behavior that delivers the same reward - Commitment devices (make it painful to do the bad habit) - Social announcement for accountability **8. 30/60/90 Day Milestones** - Day 30: habits established, still requires conscious effort - Day 60: habits becoming automatic, starting to feel natural - Day 90: habits are part of identity, begin upgrading to next level - Graduation criteria for each milestone - How to level up each habit after it's established Ground everything in behavioral science. No willpower-dependent advice - systems beat motivation every time.
