== The Four Laws of Behavior Change ==
Clear's framework is built on four simple laws to make good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible.

=== 1. Make it Obvious ===
* '''How to build good habits:''' Use implementation intentions ("I will [BEHAVIOR] at [TIME] in [LOCATION].") and habit stacking ("After [CURRENT HABIT], I will [NEW HABIT].").
* '''How to break bad habits:''' Reduce exposure. Remove the cues for your bad habits from your environment.

=== 2. Make it Attractive ===
* '''How to build good habits:''' Use temptation bundling. Pair an action you want to do with an action you need to do.
* '''How to break bad habits:''' Reframe your mindset. Highlight the benefits of avoiding your bad habits.
