Habit Stacking Architect
PRODesign bulletproof habit stacks using behavioral science. Create 'After X, I will Y' systems, diagnose failing habits, and build automated routines that stick without willpower.
Example Usage
“I want to build a morning productivity routine. I always make coffee around 7:15 AM before checking my email. Currently I jump straight to email and get stuck in reactive mode all morning. I want to add: priorities planning (5 min), calendar review (3 min), and 1 min meditation. Design me a habit stack that I can implement starting Monday.”
