Habits
What it is
- Your ability to build and maintain positive habits. Habits covers how you form new behaviours, break unhelpful ones, and design routines that support the life you want to live.
Why it matters
- About 40% of daily activities are performed habitually, yet most people lack systematic approaches to habit formation. Only 19% of people maintain habit-related resolutions after two years, and 77% abandon them within a week. Well-designed habits automate beneficial behaviours, freeing mental resources for higher-level thinking and creating cascading benefits across all life domains.

What people value about habits
People pursue habit formation for different reasons. This site scores every habits intervention across three core values, and ranks them by how well they deliver on the things you actually care about.
Impact
Choosing and designing habits that create meaningful positive change in important life areas. Focusing on keystone habits that trigger other positive behaviours and ensuring habit choices deliver measurable benefits.
Consistency
Building habits that stick and perform reliably over time without constant conscious effort. Establishing routines that become automatic and maintaining behaviours even during difficult periods.
Enjoyment
Making habit formation and maintenance as pleasant and rewarding as possible. Choosing habits that feel intrinsically satisfying and creating positive associations with beneficial behaviours.
