Habits Absolutely Screw You or Save You (How to Leverage Daily Habits)
Have you heard of habit stacking? If so, I want to introduce a concept I call Time Leveraging, when integrated with habit stacking, amplifies your dream-seeking efforts. But first, a little about habit stacking since it’s the foundation we’re building on.
I learned about habit stacking in James Clear’s book, Atomic Habits. Start a good habit and stack another one on the first and then another, etc. The idea isn’t complex — it’s a system of logically organizing and grouping positive actions to make them stick — but it’s highly effective in reshaping the person you want to be.
Clear said it best in Atomic Habits:
“Be the designer of your world and not merely the consumer of it.”
I visualize habit stacking as the mortar between the bricks of your different habits. You build a positive connection between the habits, which cements them all together. And as you stack good habit upon good habit, brick by brick, day by day, your confidence mounts, your life changes, and your motivation surges.
