What small habit did you attach to an everyday cue that actually stuck?

People often talk about "habit stacking"—attaching a tiny new action to something you already do. What’s one habit you added to a daily cue (making chai, charging your phone, brushing teeth, tiffin prep, etc.) that survived for months? Share the exact stack, why it worked or failed, and the small tweak that made it realistic.

Editorial

Use a simple, research-backed formula: an “If [stable cue], then [tiny action]” plan, where the action takes <2 minutes. Frameworks like implementation intentions and BJ Fogg’s Tiny Habits show specificity + smallness + an immediate micro-reward (a quick smile, a checkmark) boosts repetition. Practical tweaks: pick a reliable cue (swap a flaky cue like “when I feel like it” for a fixed one like “after brushing”), keep needed items visible at the cue, and track a streak. If it stalls, shrink the action further or move it to a more consistent cue.
