Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything

by B.J. Fogg

Behavior is behavior. It all works the same way.

Either you are prompted to act or you’re not. No prompt, no behavior. Simple yet powerful.

You should feel free to revise whenever a new habit ends up being not what you wanted.)

This is one of the hacks in the Tiny Habits method: Make the behavior so tiny that you don’t need much motivation.

Simplicity changes behavior.

you should always start with this question: What is making this behavior hard to do?

Do you have enough time to do the behavior? Do you have enough money to do the behavior? Are you physically capable of doing the behavior? Does the behavior require a lot of creative or mental energy? Does the behavior fit into your current routine or does it require you to make adjustments? Your Ability Chain is only as strong as its weakest Ability Factor link.

By going tiny, you create consistency; by staying tiny, you get your new habit firmly rooted.

We’re not aiming for perfection here, only consistency.
