DISCOVER:: How to Add DOZENS of Positive Changes to Your Daily Routine
Want to improve your life, but don't have enough time? Right now you could easily think of a dozen ways to instantly improve your life. Odds are, these ideas will only take a few minutes apiece to complete. The problem? You might feel like there's not enough time to do all of them. One solution can be found using the power of "habit stacking."

One Routine + Multiple Habits = Habit Stacking


We all know it's not easy to add dozens of new habits to your day. But what you might not realize is it's fairly easy to build a single new routine. The essence of habit stacking is to take a series of small changes (like eating a piece of fruit or sending a loving text message to your significant other) and build a ritual that you follow on a daily basis.

Habit stacking works because you eliminate the stress of trying to change too many things at once. Your goal is to simply focus on a single routine that only takes about 15 to 30 minutes to complete. Within this routine is a series of actions (or small changes). All you have to do is to create a checklist and follow it every single day. That's the essence of habit stacking.

LEARN: 97 Small Habits that Can Change Your Life


In the book "Habit Stacking: 97 Small Life Changes That Take Five Minutes Or Less," you will discover 97 quick habits that can instantly improve your life. Plus you'll discover how to create a simple routine (managed by a checklist) that you repeat on a daily basis. Even better, you'll discover a few tools that will keep you motivated and consistent. So even if you're completely stressed out, you'll still find the time and energy to complete these actions on a consistent basis.

By completing dozens of small habits on a daily basis, you'll be able to make giant leaps forward in your business, strengthen your personal relationships, stay on top of your finances, get organized and improve your health.

I can understand why this book is a consistent bestseller. S.J. Scott writes on the subject of habit stacking as an author who deeply understands the subject matter. His writing is concise, to the point, practical, free of grammatical errors, and filled with enough examples that you can develop a picture in your mind of what he is talking about. He knows how to address the obstacles that get in the way of building new habits and routines, so you are not left with wondering how to overcome your own unique problems and excuses. He provides effective strategy and understanding in this book. I love his frequent reference throughout this book to other helpful authors and books he has read and suggestions for android and iphone applications that will contribute to the success of habit stacking. Even the layout of the book is helpful for quick reference. I purchased the kindle version and the paperback version. I must conclude by saying that after applying the knowledge of this book, I'm developing intuitive understanding in my daily life of getting on the right track....by building habits and routines and understanding the science behind why habit stacking works! This book will tell you how and why so you can change your life, one habit at a time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Why bother with only 1 habit when you can have a stackful!
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2017

I like the concept of habit stacking, it simple, its little effort, it likely works, its worth a try anyway.
The first part of the book introduces the why and the how. Part 2 is the what and I guess many people may want to skip that, other may feel a bit insulted, but from the authors perspective I'm guessing the idea is to give people an idea so even though they may be mind numbingly obvious, it does get you thinking that (a) they're obvious and (b) other things you would prefer to see here, but aren't but on the other hand you did just think about them so whats the problem?
The final part is some examples and some tips on how to overcome any obstacles to trying this out or making it stick.
Anyway I still think its a useful book and a quick read with some useful nuggets

3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Starter Guide
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2014

*this review is based off of only The first four sections on habit stacking, the productivity sect., organizations sect., finance sect. And some of leisure

If you are are looking for a beginners guide, please skip the first long section below.
----------------
Do you remember that mandatory Health Ed class you had to take in high school and that one sub topic: goal setting and healthy living? That's exactly how Scott's manual felt to me. 1. Remove dis tractors from clustered desk 2. Make a to do list and rank items by importance...and so on

I bought this guide hoping to gain tips on how to be more productive; some thought-provoking words and critical tips to help me analyze my bad habits and make baby steps to improve them. However, Scott's guide fell short for me.

Some of the steps contradicted against each other. For example, "do the most unappealing task first." Before this In his prologue: small changes vs. mini habit, Scott makes a reference to Stephens " one push-up challenge."Scott wanted to emphasize that "cramming one years worth of effort into the first workout does not work." He seemed to recognize that people are prone to make big objectives and as a result fall short. And after doing this often, causes them to lose their motivation altogether. That is why he suggest that people "trick" themselves into performing a task for the first time by committing to very small tasks and getting past that initial hesitation. Who knows, maybe that 5 minutes of journal writing you promise yourself will bring you to write an whole hour because so many good ideas are popping up! Sounds reasonable to me. But then he goes and recommends us to do the hardest task first. Another tip is to make a "Done list" so that you can relish on all you accomplish and use that as a motivation moving forward. Unfortunately, your not going to get to far if you spend half a day planning a dinner party and have many, many other small tasks you didn't do, like walk the dog, the laundry, clean the car, etc. you would only have one task to check off.

I am currently taking a class in Economics and the professor says that's one of the most common misconception. Rather than work on the hardest task first and feeling completely drained out, you should pace yourself. Do the laundry first or water your plants, and use these as little boost to your confidence and that way when you tackle the dinner party, you have nothing weighing you down on the back of your head.. You will feel good about yourself and that proudness will transfer to an energy boost when you tackle the harder tasks.

Going back to Scott, the finance tips were also vague: find coupons, count your cash, read finance articles on bing yahoo/ google (just to name a few)

As for his leisure tips, one that I do like is to read the news"with the bonus of getting up to date, relevant information. You'll never again worry about having nothing to talk about" in addition, i recommend that if you just started to consider reading the news on a regular basis, subscribing to an actual newspaper is not the best idea. Based off of personal experience, When you get a 1 pound roll of paper on a daily basis, with more than 1/2 of it being ads and and more ads, you tend to feel discouraged from leafing through it all.

But back to topic, if you've read many manuals on self improvement, this guide ( as far as I got to) has not offered me any life changing tips. Chances are a quick google search for "forming good habits" will give you similar results.
--------

But if you are are looking for a good, easy to follow beginners guide, please. PLEASE don't let me discourage you from purchasing a copy! It's a good compilation of tips to help you jump start a better lifestyle. It will change your perspective. The beginning is very informative. A little tease: "consistency is more important than what you accomplish" how's that food for thought?

Did it make you curious? If so you should get a copy.

As much as I have to say about the tips, I still felt that I got through this guide as a smarter decision maker. And that's what counts. If this was the first guide I read, I must likely will most definitely give this at least a 4.

I have read a number of S.J. Scott's books and can say that his advice is simple, down-to-Earth and immediately applicable. His book "Writing Habits Mastery" about mastering time and productivity for writing has helped my writing career specifically.

In contrast THIS book should help people to improve multiple categories of life.

The premise is that "Big doors swing on little hinges", meaning that small changes can produce life changing benefits. Rather than the narrow definition of success of researching, writing, or editing X number of words per day, S.J. includes checklists, benchmarks, and suggestions for SEVEN whole CATEGORIES of life:

Productivity;
Relationships;
Finances;
Organization;
Spirituality;
Health and Physical FItness;
Leisure.

It's rare that I read a book in a single sitting. But I downloaded this at 5:00 am local time and am now writing this review at about 8:00. It's a page-turner and an eye-opener.

Best takeaway from the book: 5 minutes is enough to change your life if you decide to make a consistent habit of doing something purposeful daily with that five minutes. DO this in one category and you'll find it easy enough to add another. Try to "overhaul" your entire life with lofty goals and several big changes all at once and you'll likely fail.

Five stars, baby. Thanks S.J. for a perfect companion to Writing Habit Mastery.

I am happy after compilation of reading this kindle e book. A lot things mentioned in this book are already known by many of us but only thing is that this book helps to look for the same small things with different perspectives. Just take simple actions and be accountable for adapting the small changes. I would recommend this book to the readers like me and take the small actions.

Whilst it common sense we often get caught up in things perhaps not a priority and continue to slip into bad habits. For me this is what I needed to be reminded off as often we say I don't have time. I love #45 fix your broken windows analogy. Worth a read, it is simple, practical and many takes aways and you apply what is relevant to you. Take note of Ego depletion very relevant. Overall I recommend this book.

The breakdown of time was interesting. I know that anything I truly want is available & there is time to do it. This book reinforced this concept.
The book has a nice easy to read layout.
Was there anything new in ideas - no not really.
I especially liked the patience with the self - give myself the same consideration & understanding I give to others. Team work with me!
