What’s Habit Stacking is about?

The term ‘ Habit Stacking’ was coined by S.J Scott in his book Habit Stacking: 97 Small Life Changes That Take Five Minutes or Less. In the book, he proposes you “build routines around habits that don’t require effort” because “small wins build momentum because they’re easy to remember and complete.”

But this term took the entire world apart when James Clear used it in his book “Atomic Habits” published precisely five years ago in 2018.

As Per James, Clear Habit Stacking is

“ Building a second habit based on the first one”

  • How it is useful
