ADVICE

Create A Bad Day Minimum

  • Design a baseline bad-day version of any habit so it survives interruptions and low energy days.
  • Leila used walking as her minimum viable exercise so travel or tight schedules never broke her routine.
ADVICE

Pair A Tiny Baseline With A Stretch Plan

  • Pair a simple baseline with a stretch plan so you keep progress on bad days and capitalize on high-energy days.
  • For content, baseline = one tweet; stretch = write, film, caption, and publish a YouTube video.
INSIGHT

Habits Serve Functions Not Just Forms

  • Removing a bad object rarely removes the underlying need; people transfer the function to something else.
  • Leila illustrates this with putting the phone away then switching to the laptop because the transition ritual remained unmet.
