Combining and Stacking Habits for Better Results

Positive habits are the cornerstone of a productive and fulfilling life, but mastering them can be a challenge. Today I am continuing our conversation about habits with more advanced strategies to help you maximize your productivity, reach your goals, and unlock the secret to sustainable, long-lasting change in your life. This week, episode 227 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about combining and stacking habits for better results!

In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I’m sharing a strategic habit building technique that helps you reach your goals faster and gives you actionable steps to take right now to incorporate these game-changing techniques into your everyday life.

I cover the following topics:

• Reviewing the science behind habits: how we create them, why they’re so hard to break, and how powerful they can be. 
• Where the term “habit stacking” comes from and a simple formula for how to do it.
• Ideas and examples for how you can incorporate habit stacking and anchoring throughout your day.
• How focusing on building keystone habits can help you maximize the positive habits you create.

Habits are your building blocks of a productive and fulfilling life. There are so many ways habits, especially when we combine the right ones, can change our lives for the better. What habit will you work on next?
