Let’s face it: life is busy. Between work, family, fitness, and everything else on your plate, it can feel like there’s never enough time to catch your breath. But what if there was a way to make things flow a little smoother? That’s where habit stacking and thoughtful routines come in handy. They’re simple, practical strategies to help you stay on top of life without feeling totally overwhelmed.
What the Heck is Habit Stacking?
Habit stacking might sound fancy, but it’s really just a clever way to build new habits by attaching them to ones you already have. James Clear talks about it in his book Atomic Habits (highly recommend, by the way). The idea is to piggyback a new habit onto something you’re already doing every day. For example:
-
While your coffee’s brewing, take a minute to write down the top three things you need to get done today.
-
After you brush your teeth at night, lay out your workout clothes for the next morning.
-
When you sit down for lunch, grab a glass of water or a Corpse Reviver to stay hydrated and feel good.
The beauty of habit stacking is that it’s easy. You’re not reinventing the wheel—just tacking on a small, helpful action to something you’re already doing.
Why Routines Are Your Best Friend
Routines are the secret weapon of people who seem like they’ve got it all together. (Spoiler: they don’t, but routines help.) Having some structure to your day means fewer decisions to make, less stress, and more time for the stuff you actually care about. Here’s how to build routines that work for you:
-
Figure out your non-negotiables. What absolutely has to get done every day? Maybe it’s eating three meals, moving your body, or spending time with your family.
-
Batch similar tasks. Knock out all your emails at once or group errands together. It’ll save you time and brainpower.
-
Craft a morning and evening flow. These parts of your day are golden for setting the tone and winding down. Keep it simple—just a couple of things that help you feel grounded.
-
Leave wiggle room. Life happens. Build in some flexibility so you don’t feel like a failure when things go sideways.
