A little package of behaviors that happens the same way every time and you do it each morning.
And from talking with a lot of readers, people like to use these at certain moments throughout their day.
People like habit stacks in the morning.
I have a lot of readers who they'll come up with one for what they do when they get into the office.
They'll be like, I go into the office, I hang up my jacket, I set my purse on the desk, I take my water bottle and I fill it up, and then I sit down and I answer the first email.
And I always do it in the same order and that helps me get into the day and I just know exactly what I'm going to do when I get there.
Sometimes you'll see people have one like a power down routine at the end of the day to kind of help them, you know, wrap the day up and get ready for bed and whatever.
So you can use it anywhere.
I have some readers who have come up with very creative ones.
I had one guy who was, he was such a bro and really liked going to the gym.
And he was not managing his finances well.
And so his new habit stack was whenever I drink a protein shake, I will check my finances.
And it just happened frequently enough that it would force him to check in on his budget and stay more on top of it.
So you can do strange ones like that.
You have to be willing to experiment.
Atomic Habits, I've tried to lay everything out that I can.
I don't know whether I reached or not, but my objective when I was writing was I want to write the single best book that's ever been written about habits.
But even so, even if in some magical world I achieve that outcome, you as an individual still have to be willing to experiment.
Because what matters is, does it work for your life?
And so maybe you need to rearrange the habit stack.
