Step by step

  1. 01

    Open Habits and create a habit.

    Name the action, not the ambition. Try “Read one page” rather than “Be a reader”.

  2. 02

    Set the target and choose its schedule.

    Choose a simple completion tick or a measurable amount, then decide when it is due.

  3. 03

    Review the habit and save.

    Check the first day it appears before leaving the editor.

Make the first habit easy enough to repeat on a busy day. Name the action, not the ambition. Try “Read one page” rather than “Be a reader”. Choose a simple completion tick or a measurable amount, then decide when it is due. Check the first day it appears before leaving the editor. Start small. You can change the target later.
