Habit Stacking
Scientific citation: Clear, J. (2018). Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones. Avery.
Scientific Definition
A behavioral chaining technique where a new desired routine is explicitly paired with a well-established, automatic daily habit anchor. It utilizes established neural pathways to make starting a new behavior feel natural and low-friction.
Historical Origin
Developed by BJ Fogg and popularized by James Clear in Atomic Habits. The approach leverages neural synaptic pruning, attaching a new synaptic pattern onto a hardened, existing neural circuit.
Pip encourages you to anchor your daily planning review directly to an existing morning routine (e.g. 'After I pour my morning coffee, I will open Pip and seal my Daily 3'). This transforms morning goal setting from a conscious chore into an automated reflex.
