Elastic Habits
by Stephen Guise
Guise's follow-up to Mini Habits gives each habit three sizes, mini, plus and elite, so you can do a little on bad days and a lot on good ones without breaking the streak. It is a practical refinement that solves the 'too easy, got bored' and 'too hard, quit' problems at once. Longer than it needs to be.
Read it if…
rigid habit targets have failed you in both directions.
Skip it if…
you have not read Mini Habits; the first book is the base.
Three things you will actually use
- Set mini, plus and elite versions.
- Choose the level daily; flexibility beats rigidity.
- Track completions, not levels.
Do this first
For one habit, define three levels and let yourself choose each day; count all three as wins.
Our verdict
A useful refinement; practical if slightly padded.
