habit.”

Anchor New Habits to
“After”
The idea is to connect a new habit to an
existing behavior. By anchoring a new habit to
an existing one, we are chaining something
new to an already established habit i.e., if you
already eat breakfast but want to start taking
vitamins, then establish the practice of taking
your vitamins after breakfast.

self-discipline, you are strengthening
your will.

able to leverage your time far better than if you
weigh all your actions equally.
