Habit Stacking for Study

What it is

Attach study to an existing habit: “After breakfast, I review flashcards for 10 minutes.”

When to use it

Building a new routine you keep forgetting.

How to do it

1. Pick a daily habit you never miss (meal, shower, commute end).
2. Add “then I study X for Y minutes” immediately after.
3. Prepare materials the night before.

Common mistakes

• Vague trigger (“when I have time”).
• Materials not ready — friction kills the habit.
• Stacking too many new habits at once.
