One of the simplest and best principles that I picked up from reading James Clear’s ‘Atomic Habits’ is what he calls ‘habit stacking’:
"One of the best ways to build a new habit is to identify a current habit you already do each day and then stack your new behavior on top. This is called habit stacking." [...] "Rather than pairing your new habit with a particular time and location, you pair it with a current habit,"
- James Clear
One of my strongest existing habits is writing this email every week.
One of my weakest is being consistent with posting to social media.
So, I’m going to try this out in practice.
I’ll be building social media time and outputs on top of my existing newsletter writing process. This will hopefully help me to grow the audience for the newsletter, as well as taking the sting out of posting more frequently.
Start right where you are.
