Routine

At this point in your 2026 Resolutions you have learned that the cornerstone of building habits is routine. 
Part of the downfall of building a new habit lies in the short term appeal of novelty. 
A new habit is novel, but over time that wears off, leaving you with the same habit lacking the motivating allure. 


This is how you fall into the spiral of constantly seeking new habits. 
You mistake your initial commitment for true motivation rather than short-term reward-driven novelty. 
The antidote lies in routine. 


Building a routine creates a behavioural domino effect that guides your habits by making it harder to not do them. 
An effective routine leverages your brain’s heuristic models to make simple if:then decisions that guide you towards your desired outcome. 
If you have a 2026 Resolution on the brink of March extinction, find the routine it needs to survive.
