Habit Stacking
by S.J. Scott
Scott's method of chaining small habits into routines anchored to existing behaviors, with a catalog of over a hundred five-minute habits across productivity, health, relationships and finance. It is a practical list book; the stacking concept is sound and later popularized more elegantly by James Clear.
Read it if…
you want a menu of small habits and a way to chain them.
Skip it if…
you have read Atomic Habits; the method is covered there more fully.
Three things you will actually use
- Anchor new habits to existing ones.
- Keep each habit small; the stack is the achievement.
- Review the stack weekly; drop what does not serve.
Do this first
Attach one two-minute habit to your morning coffee for a week.
Our verdict
Practical list, sound idea.
