Good habits are designed, not just decided. This planner walks you through identifying your cue, defining your routine, and choosing a reward — then helps you track 30 days of progress.
About this tool
The cue-routine-reward loop is how every habit is encoded in the brain. Identifying all three parts before you start dramatically improves your chances of the behaviour becoming automatic.
Starting small is not cheating — it is strategy. A tiny first step removes the friction of beginning, and beginning is usually the hardest part. You can grow the routine once it is running reliably.

It happens to everyone. Miss one day, but try not to miss two in a row. Research suggests occasional lapses matter little; what counts is getting back on track quickly.
Small enough that skipping it on a hard day would feel slightly embarrassing. If you want to exercise, start with one minute. If you want to read, start with one page. Small is the point.
You can save one active habit plan at a time in this tool. For multiple habits, consider running them sequentially to focus on one until it is established.
