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.
