Stable cue
Attach the behaviour to a consistent time, place or preceding action.

MAKE PROGRESS REPEATABLE
Habits form through repeated action in a stable context. The system should make starting obvious and completion satisfying enough to repeat.
Enter the system ↓01 / THE FOUNDATION
Attach the behaviour to a consistent time, place or preceding action.
Shrink the start until resistance is low. You may continue, but the minimum must remain easy to repeat.
Mark completion and make progress visible. Delayed goals need an immediate signal that the system is working.
Research shows wide variation; repeat in a stable context.
02 / THE PROTOCOL
Use the same sequence until good decisions become easier to reproduce under pressure.
After an existing routine, perform the new action in the same context.
Prepare clothes, food, workspace or study material in advance.
Protect frequency before chasing intensity.
Increase only after the minimum action feels stable across normal and difficult days.
