The Build-a-Habit Guide

WHO THIS HELPS

You've tried (and struggled) with building habits. You're tired (and overwhelmed) by all of the changes you want to make, but can’t seem to implement. Thankfully, there’s a body of research dedicated to figuring out how to make sustained behavior change. The Build-a-Habit Guide equips you with a proven plan for making new habits stick, now and into the future.

CONTRIBUTORS

What makes The Build-a-Habit Guide different? We guide you, step-by-step, through every bump in the road so you're never going it alone.

Our defining principle: your first plan isn't going to be your final plan. Something that was really important for us was this understanding that there is no 'one-size-fits-all' system for building habits. To that end, we have a "Repeat and Refine" section that guides you through finding a system that works for you.

SUCCESS STORIES

I really enjoy that this notebook breaks down exactly how you build a habit and most importantly that you may not always be in the mood to do it! I'm excited to have this notebook and commit myself back to a habit I used to enjoy and that makes a big difference in elevating my mood--exercising. The notebook addresses obstacles and even check-ins for when you don't complete the habit, which lets me know I can be honest about the days I may miss or struggle to complete my habit. Having a notebook dedicated to a single habit makes me feel confident that I can really achieve this goal!

Before I even opened the book the orange cover lured me in and got me excited to open it. Overall, the style of writing really speaks to me. It's so welcoming, clear, and scientifically-presented without an ounce of judgment. The repetition and structure of the entry prompts in this book (and others) has really helped me identify what it is that fluctuates over time, allowing me to live more proactively and less reactively. This new level of awareness also inspires more self-compassion.

Starting from the mindset of simplicity and accountability, and planning for changes throughout the process, makes this journey feel manageable and welcoming rather than daunting and anxiety-inducing. I can't wait to see where it goes from here!

Look, I love me some stickers and checking off boxes and all that. But every journal like that I've tried hasn't actually helped anything stick. Or even form while I'm trying to do it for that matter. They're cute accessories. Like the new version of the Franklin Covey planners.

This journal is definitely not that. It's more than just tracking. I'm learning as I track and reinforcing the things I'm learning. Dig deeper into that angle and I think that really sets things apart.

I like that The Build-a-Habit Guide has a step-by-step plan. It feels very pragmatic and it makes building habits feel possible. Instead of just saying 'do the thing,' and feeling overwhelmed by trying to just...do the thing, I actually feel like I can do the thing through this book's guidance.

I REALLY want to form new habits. I TRY to form new habits, but I rarely make it past day 3. My job is really demanding, so the last thing I want to do when I get home is more "work." Once starting The Build-A-Habit Guide, I could finally separate the habit building from the idea of laborious work and start enjoying the process of making the habit stick. There's no pressure to make your habit something huge (like running 5 miles daily). The daily reflections are straightforward and allow me to write as much or as little as I want (which is sometimes just a happy or sad face depending on the day). I finally found the tool I needed to succeed, and I'm definitely recommending this to my friends and family!

I was pleasantly surprised when using The Build-a-Habit Guide. The orange color is really striking but also warm, it makes it feel like a book I actually want to pick up. The way that the book presents habits feels really clear and easy to understand. I didn't really think about habits in this way before, so the breakdown was helpful. It's not super dense, and I like how there's good guidance and encouragement throughout the book on making my habit happen.
