Episode 3300:

Shirley from Daring Living introduces the concept of habit stacking, a method to create lasting habits by attaching new routines to already established ones. By understanding the habit loop and strategically stacking habits, you can effectively form new routines that require less mental effort and discipline, making it easier to stick to them long-term.

Quotes to ponder:

"Actions like getting out of bed, turning on the coffee maker, taking a shower - these habits are already rooted in our brain that they barely require any mental energy at all to perform."

"Try not to be too ambitious to create many new habits at once. Each new habit requires mental effort to form in the beginning, and you don’t want to diversify that energy."
