But remember that you hear about people making big changes because this is the exception, not the rule. - B. J. Fogg

Write this phrase on a small piece of paper: I change best by feeling good, not by feeling bad.

Using Anchors is a great approach to designing prompts because anyone can do it. There’s no need for fancy watches or whizzy apps to prompt new habits. You can do it yourself more effectively, and you will discover how transformative a simple design hack can be. The power of after is not magic, it’s closer to chemistry. Combine the right behaviors with the right chronology, and, poof, a new habit is created.

Shifting identity helps you consider other new habits you might not have thought of doing that will move you closer to your aspiration.
