LESSON 2 · The Habit Machine
Your Action Plan
Pick one habit to build this week and run it through the framework:
- Shrink it — Reduce it to a 2-minute version. "Study Spanish" becomes "Open the Spanish app."
- Stack it — Attach it to a habit you already have: "After my morning coffee, I open the app."
- Track it — Mark an X on a calendar for each day you do it.
- Never miss twice — One missed day happens. Two in a row starts a new habit: skipping.
Start today, not Monday. The atomic idea is that no prep is needed — just the smallest action, done now.
