Personal Exploration

Exploring how to curate an experience that guides users in habit creation in a meditative way. Inspired by personal studies of habit science and my forays into Yoga

CONTEXT

Habit apps are overcomplicated

Today, habit apps are a sea of stressful trackers and overwhelming choices

Good Habits are…

Identity based

Habits aligned with identity are shown to succeed more.

Actionable

Stacking habits makes them twice as likely to stick.

Simple

The key is optimizing for the bad days, not the good ones.

THE BIG QUESTION

What if creating a habit felt calm and grounded?

How can we steer away from the high-pressure commitment most apps demand from users?

Create a habit

Playful interactions coincide with careful content choice to make habit creation feel less high-stakes

Pare it down & Stack it

Users are invited to optimize their habit, making it feel more manageable

Customize

Users assign a time and icon that is critical to success

Sealed with intention

Create a habit

Research shows that connecting a habit to self-identity makes it more likely to stick
