Atomic Habits · IN SHORT
Design a routine around the person you want to become. The skill examines cues and rewards, creates a two-minute starting action and attaches it to something you already do.
Your brief
After my final meeting I keep refreshing my inbox. I want a calmer way to finish work.
Possible draft
A possible first step is to write down one task for tomorrow after the meeting, then close email. A visible card supplies the cue; the weekly review checks whether the routine helps.
01 / THE FOUNDATION
A habit plan covering identity, the habit loop, four practical changes and a weekly review.
02 / SEE HOW IT WORKS
After my final meeting I keep refreshing my inbox. I want a calmer way to finish work.
A possible first step is to write down one task for tomorrow after the meeting, then close email. A visible card supplies the cue; the weekly review checks whether the routine helps.
This example shows the approach. It is not a client result or a guarantee of a particular outcome.
03 / GET STARTED
Describe the cue, craving, response and reward without blaming yourself.
Apply the four laws and choose a first action that takes two minutes.
Use an existing routine as the cue, then review what helped and what needs adjusting.
04 / MAKE IT YOURS
Take the instructions, add your own context and review the draft. You stay in control.
