The Science of Habit Formation: Accountability Check-In

This post is for people who participated in The Science of Habit Formation. Complete these prompts after a month! I recommend copying and pasting them into a Google Doc or writing them out by hand in your journal.

Many thanks to these amazing books by amazing researchers for the ideas I have compiled here:

• Atomic Habits, James Clear

• Tiny Habits, BJ Fogg

• Make it Stick, Henry Roediger, Mark McDaniel, and Peter Brown

• Feel-Good Productivity, Ali Abdaal

• Flourish, Martin Seligman

How have you used Make It Small to accomplish your goals?

How have you used Make It Easy to accomplish your goals? How can you use it going forward? Can you upskill or acquire something?

Look at your PERMA chart. Have you felt balanced or are you focusing more on one area than others? How is it going in each area? 

Can you think of one small step you can take to align with your goals?
