Habits that last

Seven days on how habits are actually built: less willpower, more smart design. You start with the science, anchor the habit in who you want to become, tie it to a cue, borrow a reward, hang it on a morning routine, and learn to return gently after a lapse. On the last day you connect the habit to a value, so it holds even when the novelty has faded.

How it works

One exercise, session or article per day for 7 days. You go at your own pace — the app remembers where you are, and you can pause and restart whenever you want.
