Habit Tracker in Sight

3 days

Visually connect a new habit to an existing routine to increase its likelihood.

Steps

1

Choose a new habit you want to build (e.g., drinking more water).

2

Identify an existing habit you already do consistently (e.g., brushing your teeth).

3

Get a roll of brightly colored tape and a marker.

4

Write the new habit ('Drink Water') on a piece of tape and stick it to your toothbrush or bathroom mirror.

5

Each time you brush your teeth, the visual cue will remind you to immediately drink water afterwards.

Success Criteria

Did I place the visual reminder and notice it before/during my existing habit each day?
