Tiny habits

Tiny habits

By BJ Fogg, PhD

Behavior change is not a mystery; it's actually quite predictable. When behavior change doesn't happen, it's typically because the person doesn't want to do it, doesn't know how to make it easy, or isn't prompted to do it. With the Tiny Habits method, you can sidestep these obstacles by creating habits that are small enough to succeed regardless of motivation, designing for simplicity, and anchoring new behaviors to existing routines in your life.
