How to Build Better Habits

Before we can build better habits, we first have to understand what we are working with. Building habits is about understanding the simple, predictable system your brain uses to automate your daily life: the habit loop. Think of it as your brain's shortcut system. It is a three part cycle of a cue, a routine, and a reward. Once you see this pattern, you can start working with your brain instead of against it, swapping out bad habits and intentionally designing good ones.
