Question #4: “Isn’t this a robotic way to live your life?” No. Well, actually, it might feel that way at first. When you begin a new stack, you must rely on a checklist to remember each action because there is a finite amount of information that can be stored in your short-term memory. While you might feel silly moving from habit to habit using a checklist, you’ll eventually reach the point where each action becomes second nature. They will transition from “habit stacking routine” into a series of positive actions you complete each day, like flossing your teeth and eating healthy foods.
