The 90-Minute Plan

Define Your Why0–15 min

Write why you want this habit. Connect it to your values and goals. Make it emotionally compelling, not just logical

Chunk Down the Habit15–35 min

Break into smallest possible version. Instead of 'exercise daily,' start with '5 push-ups.' Make it stupid easy

Create an Implementation Intention35–55 min

Write 'After [existing habit], I will [new habit].' Example: 'After pouring coffee, I will meditate 2 minutes.' Link to existing routine

Plan Your Environment55–75 min

Remove friction: lay out workout clothes, prep breakfast, delete distracting apps. Make the habit easier than alternatives

Commit and Track75–90 min

Write commitment statement. Create simple tracking system (calendar, app, checklist). Plan how you'll celebrate each win

Pro Tip

Start embarrassingly small. Consistency beats intensity. Celebrate completing the habit, not quality of execution
