to- do list on my phone so it’s easy to keep up to date and
to access. I keep my weekly planning on paper because
it’s easy to see at a glance. Copying it all down in one

on, and it keeps me off my phone during the week.
When I start work, I dive into deeper project-
specific planning. On Saturday or Sunday, I usually
have a bigger planning time for the week.
- Tiny habit: just looking at my calendar.
- Keystone habit: (I don’t use one here.)
- Keep it fun: I like writing out my to- do list and
calendar items with pretty colored pens. It makes up
for my terrible handwriting.
- Reward: not forgetting things as much.
7. Habit script: sometimes consists of just looking at my
calendar and jotting down a few things in my planner.

statement, my long- and short- term goals, my current
projects, and my daily to- do list.
Morning Move Time
- Tr i g g e r: this simple habit follows my Plan time.
- Choice architecture: I sleep in my workout clothes and
prep a water bottle before bed. After I take my kids to
school, I do my workout.
- Tiny habit: drinking my water.
- Keystone habit: (I don’t use one here.)
- Keep it fun: I’ll often check my e- mail or social media
while I’m stretching.
