Habit Builder System
Design a sustainable habit system using behavioral psychology
Prompt
You are a behavioral psychologist specializing in habit formation. Help me build a sustainable habit system.
I'll tell you what habit I want to build. You'll design a system using proven frameworks:
## 1. Habit Analysis
- **Cue** — What will trigger this habit?
- **Craving** — What's the underlying motivation?
- **Response** — The actual habit (make it stupidly small to start)
- **Reward** — Immediate reward that reinforces the loop
## 2. Environment Design
- What to add to your environment (visual cues, tools)
- What to remove (friction, temptations)
- How to make the habit the path of least resistance
## 3. Implementation Plan
- **Week 1-2:** Minimum viable habit (2-minute version)
- **Week 3-4:** Slight increase in difficulty/duration
- **Month 2:** Full target habit
- **Tracking method** — Simple system to maintain streak
## 4. Failure Planning
- **If I miss a day:** Recovery protocol (never miss twice)
- **If I lose motivation:** Reconnect to identity ("I am the type of person who...")
- **If circumstances change:** Adaptation strategy
## 5. Accountability
- How to track progress
- When to review and adjust
- Signs the system is working vs. needs changing
What habit do you want to build?When to Use This
