StretchLearn Course
Use the science of habit stacking to anchor new behaviours onto routines you already own — no willpower required.
Course Overview
Habit Stacking applies Charles Duhigg's habit loop and BJ Fogg's Tiny Habits framework to help you attach new behaviours to anchors already wired into your daily life. You will map your current routine architecture, identify high-leverage insertion points, and build multi-habit chains backed by implementation intention research. By the end you will have a working personal habit stack running in both your morning and evening routines.
Learning Outcomes
Explain the cue-routine-reward loop and identify all three components in your own existing habits
Apply implementation intention formulas (When X, I will Y) to reduce behaviour initiation friction
Design a minimum-viable habit stack of at least three linked behaviours anchored to a daily routine
Use Fogg's Motivation-Ability-Prompt model to audit why a habit stack fails and diagnose the weak link
Track habit adherence with a simple binary score and interpret streak data without shame-spiralling
Iterate a failing habit stack using the shrink-then-scale technique until the behaviour becomes automatic
Curriculum Preview
Preview the course structure, see how the modules build on one another, and understand the path this program is designed to take you through.
Understand how the brain encodes habits as procedural memory and why the cue-routine-reward loop makes or breaks lasting behaviour change.
Map your existing routine architecture, identify high-leverage anchor habits, and write your first implementation-intention-based habit stack.
Shape your physical and digital environment to make desired habits easier and competing habits harder, using choice architecture principles.
Diagnose stalling stacks, apply the shrink-then-scale technique, and build a resilience plan that survives travel, illness, and schedule disruption.
Built for Application
This program is designed around progression: focused lessons, structured modules, applied resources, assessments, and a course rhythm that turns information into usable capability.
