Keeping habits going through busy seasons, travel, boredom, plateaus and life changes.

By the end of this module

You will keep habits alive over months and years — managing how many you run, travelling with them, adding challenge, recovering from gaps and letting go on purpose.

Keeping it going

• Keeping a habit is different from starting it — What helps you start is not always what helps you continue. (6 min · Intermediate)
• How many habits at once? — Prioritise, sequence and consolidate — and run fewer experiments at a time. (6 min · Beginner)
• Habits that travel — When the habit works at home but not elsewhere: portable versions and travel plans. (6 min · Intermediate)
• Progression without breaking the cue — Add challenge or variety to a habit that has gone flat, while keeping its cue steady. (6 min · Intermediate)

Setbacks and seasons

• A recovery plan before you need it — Decide now how you’ll return after a gap. (6 min · Beginner)
• When life changes — New job, new baby, illness, a move — adapting habits to a new season. (6 min · Intermediate)
• When progress stalls — Plateaus are normal. What to check, and what not to conclude. (5 min · Intermediate)

The long run

• Letting a habit go on purpose — Retiring a habit that no longer serves you is a decision, not a failure. (5 min · Beginner)
• Long-term behaviour change — Identity, review and adaptation over years, not weeks. (6 min · Intermediate)
