HABIT FORMATION PRINCIPLES
==========================
✓ Start small - make it so easy you can't say no
✓ Be consistent - same time, same place when possible
✓ Stack habits - attach new habits to existing routines
✓ Track visibly - seeing progress motivates continuation
✓ Celebrate wins - acknowledge every success, however small
✓ Plan for obstacles - identify barriers and solutions in advance
✓ Focus on identity - "I am someone who..."
✓ Environment design - make good habits obvious, bad habits invisible
Remember: Habits are formed through repetition, not perfection. Focus on showing up consistently rather than performing perfectly.
