🏴☠️ Stop Believing the Lies About Habits
Try These Habit Strategies
The "habit experts" have fed us the same old advice for years.
But the truth is, most of it's just not helpful.
Don't feel bad, though - it's not your fault you've been misled. The self-help gurus keep talking about waking up early and drinking more water, even though it doesn't work for most people.
Well, I'm here to set the record straight. Forget everything you thought you knew about building habits. I have some counterintuitive strategies that'll make a difference - no generic tips or empty promises in sight.
The key isn't forcing yourself into a rigid routine or trying to will yourself into better habits. The real secret is tapping into your natural motivations and aligning your habits with your deeper values.
Sound refreshing? It's been a total game-changer for me. I'm talking about things like:
Using ChatGPT to make fun, helpful habit reminders
Automating boring tasks so I can focus on what matters
Reframing "bad" habits as positive, identity-driven behaviors
The list goes on. So ditch the recycled self-help noise and get ready to transform your habits for good. Your future self will thank you.

Prompt 1 - Becoming 1% better every day
I want to get better at [WHAT YOU WANT TO IMPROVE] by just a little bit every day, like 1%. Right now, I'd say I'm okay at it, but I want to be better. Can you help me figure out what small things I should do each day to improve by that 1%? Can you break it down for me into what I should do each week, month, quarter, and year?
Prompt 2 - Change your behaviour
I want to get into the habit of [DESCRIBE THE HABIT], but right now, I'm not really doing it. I readthat I should make a cue, a craving, a response, and a reward to help me stick to this habit. Can you give me some ideas on how I can actually do this?
Prompt 3 - Stacking habits
In my daily routine, I already do these things regularly: [YOUR CURRENT HABITS]. Now, I want to add [NEW HABITS]. How can I use the idea of habit stacking, which means linking a new habit with something I already do, to make it simple and enjoyable? This way, I'm more likely to stick with it. Any suggestions on how to do this effectively?
