James Clear describes that behavioural change happens at multiple levels.

Outcomes are about what you get. Processes are about what you do. Identity is about what you believe.

With identity-based habits, the focus is on who you wish to become.

Examples of the desired identity:

• I want to be healthier 
• I want to be a better writer  
• I want to be the type of person who completes eCourses.

Step 1: Start by linking your habit to your desired identity

Think about your desired identity.

Step 2: Ask - “Who is the type of person that could get the outcome I want?"

Examples of habits linked to the desired identity:

• What would a healthy person do? Go for a run four times a week
• What would a writer do to get better? Write a short paragraph every day for the week
• What would someone do to complete an eCourse? Go through a topic each week.

How Can I Make It Obvious

Step 3: Craft your habit statement using either Implementation Intention (Cue-trigger) or Habit Stacking.

Implementation Intention (Cue-trigger)
I will [Behaviour] at [Time] in [Location]
Eg. I will walk for 45 minutes at 7 am in the park.

Habit Stacking
After [CURRENT HABIT], I will [NEW HABIT].
Eg. After I will drink my lemon water, I will go out for a walk
