Design Your Habits by Tiago Forte

The ability to create, sustain, and redesign habits is one of the foundational skills of high performance in any area, allowing you to preserve your time, energy, and willpower.

In this class, you will learn the best principles and tools for designing better habits and then use them to complete a hands-on project: designing a sustainable daily habit to improve your productivity, creativity, health, or wellbeing.

In my work with Forte Labs, I’ve helped thousands of people from organizations like Genentech, Toyota, and Nestle to understand and use the techniques of behavior design, and now I am opening up this method to a wider audience online.

We will:

• Deconstruct and understand the Habit Loop, the basic model that governs habit formation
• Learn the most effective techniques for strengthening each component of a new habit
• Combine these techniques in a personalized template based on my Habit Loop 2.0 model
