The basics of creating a habit are pretty simple. But it’s made complicated by the obstacles that get in the way.

The mechanics of creating a new habit work like this:

1. You pick a (preferably small) habit to stick to every day.

You pick a trigger to tie it to – something you already do every day, like eat breakfast or wake up in the morning.

You set up some kind of reminder so you don’t forget to do the habit after the trigger.

You do the habit right after the trigger happens every day.
