How to simplify a habit

Keep the part that matters and reconsider the rest.

← All short guides

The idea

A familiar action can accumulate extra steps. Simplifying means deciding which parts still serve a purpose.

Why it helps

Separating the useful part from the surrounding ritual makes it possible to choose a different version. That version can remain the normal one if it works better.

Try this

  • Describe what you actually want from the action.
  • Try leaving out one unnecessary step or reducing the amount.

Keep it simple

A simpler version does not need to be temporary.
