Habit Stacking 127 Small Changes to Improve Your Health Wealth and Happiness eBook SJ Scott Jonathan Green

The new version of Habit Stacking by prolific author Steve Scott doesn’t disappoint. I read the first version last year and the 2nd version is twice as good with more actionable content that can flip your productivity and organization around within days.

As the book promises from the very beginning: “The people who succeed in the game of life understand the important power of small actions.”

By introducing small actions [habits] into your life, you can create a compound effect that takes place over an extended period of time. The overall force behind this book is simple: Group small actions together.

Steve Scott gives readers a systematic approach that works, by adding a few simple but effective routines to your schedule without being overwhelmed. The content of the book is divided up into 12 sections that cover:
1. Part 1: General overview and Intro
2. Part 2: Talks about GOALS
3. Part 3: briefly covers the psychology behind habit stacking
4. Part 4: shows you how to get started with habit stacking.
5. Part 5: on improving your productivity, increasing your business revenue, and implementing the habits that help you do better at your job.
6. Part 6: Covers the finance habits.
7. Part 7: Goes over health habits that are important for maintaining a balance of physical fitness.
8. Part 8: discusses the leisure habits vital for improving the quality of your life.
9. Part 9: IX Talks about the organizing habits that provide structure to your surroundings in a mindful way
10. Part 10: cover the relationship goals that help you enhance interactions with the important individuals in your life.
11. Part 11: Covers spiritual habits, which includes a wide range of topics like meditation, prayer, and yoga.
12. Part 12: Provides nine examples of habit stacks you can build and how to overcome the six challenges you might encounter when building a routine.

Getting into the real content of this book, as you can see from the section list above, there is a lot of material that covers a lot of simple strategies you can implement right away and make a difference in your life without waiting too long.

The basic concept of Habit Stacking is, you focus on a few action tasks as part of your routine, and you perform them consistently until they become part of your routine.

The material in Habit Stacking is definitely action-oriented. It is set up in a way that you have no choice but to take action every day. But the actions are simple enough that you are not required to bend your current routine or make any major shifts to your lifestyle. That is what I love about the Habit Stacking course.

The course dives in with the Goal Habits. As Steve states from the beginning: “The best way to build a habit stack is to combine actions related to what you want from life.”

This is a fantastic way to start off the book, discussing goals that include: career, finance, health, leisure, organizing, relationship and spirituality.

By answering the Goal Specific questions that follow, you can identify what you want from life and then, build your habit stack routine into it. But that isn’t all.

Next we learn the 3 types of habits that support your Habit Stacking routine. They are:
1. Keystone Habits
2. Support Habits
3. Elephant Habits

The author Steve doesn’t leave anything out when he covers the Habit Stacking program. Next he covers the psychology of habits and what keeps us stuck. This boils down two 2 major obstacles we learn about that gets us to take action and build better habit routines.

The book moves into the prolific meat of the subject by covering:

1. The 9 rules for building a habit stacking routine.
2. 13 steps for building a habit stacking routine.
3. 4 Questions about habit stacking

Then, the really good stuff begins…
What I love about this book is how Steve Scott really covers the areas of habits and goals that people are most engaged in with their everyday routines. In the following description of each habit area, I give a few of my favorite parts of each section, BUT, there are many more strategies than listed here. Check out the book for the complete list of action tasks.

Moving past the “Goal Habits #1-20,” we get into the career goals where Steve talks about:
 scheduling your day
 identifying your MITs [Most Important tasks]
 chunking down projects
 creating an interruption free environment.

Next:

Financial Goals [#21-39]: In this section you will learn how to:
 Track your expenses
 Review your budget
 Check your billing statements
 Conserve utilities
 Pack a meal or snack
 Plan your meals

Health Goals: #40-60
 Maintain a food journal
 Take daily vitamins
 Practice good posture

Leisure Habits: #61-74
 Read a book chapter
 Draw in a coloring book
 Create a bucket list

Organizing Habits: #75-90
 Identify a home base every possession
 Clean your office desk
 Scan your paperwork

Relationship Habits: #91-108
 Talk to someone new
 Give a compliment
 Practice active listening

Spirituality Habits: #109-127
 Practice gratitude
 Practice creative visualization
 Practice mindful walking
 Dress for success

This system is amazing in the way that Steve Scott provides so much detail in how to do the actions. He just doesn’t “tell you” to do it but he shows you.

The last chapter is GOLD. It discussed the 6 challenges that might hold you back from taking action. Have you ever procrastinated because you weren’t sure if you were doing the right thing?

After reading through and learning how to confront your pain points keeping you stuck, I am confident that you’ll be putting Habit Stacking into action.

******The Bottom Line on “Habit Stacking”******

If I had to pick any book to work on productivity and enjoy the process at the same time, this would be it. Steve Scott offers a ton of actionable tasks and shows you how to implement each one for success. I also love the easy access to multiple apps that you can download right off the page and set up quickly to start working on goals.

You don’t need to read a dozen books on habits or how to change your life. What we need are tasks that we can do without taking too much time and can become part of our routine, just like the strategies in Habit Stacking.

I’ve read plenty of books on productivity but right now, this is my #1 choice.

Habit Stacking 127 Small Changes to Improve Your Health Wealth and Happiness eBook SJ Scott Jonathan Green Reviews

S. J. Scott is my favorite kind of author. He writes clearly and is easy to understand. He's sincere, and a lot of what he says is based on his own life experience. He presents step-by-step processes that will work if you follow them--and they are logically presented so you have a good idea they will work before you even try them. It seems to me that quite a few things that will improve our life are really common-sense ideas that we just haven't thought of or tried yet. S. J. thought of them and has tried them for us.

If you want to improve your life in some area (S.J. covers quite a few), Habit Stacking is a clear blueprint that will help.
The book does contain some interesting information such as how to establish habits in a systematic manner and some apps to support the formation of habits. However, my impression is that the ideas presented could be easily summarized within two or three pages; and actually are, at the back of the book. Because I am familiar with how to form habits, it felt as though the author was perhaps attempting to flesh out core ideas into a book length.
Overall, I would recommend this book to people who are looking for a basic framework on how to build habits in a progressive manner across different areas of life. If that sounds familiar or rudimentary, I would look elsewhere for ideas; perhaps on his website for additional material.
Wise advice but not too innovative. And he talks WAY too much about having a smoothie and drinking exactly 32 ounces of water. Still, the book gives me a helpful push.
I'm a widow who is semi-retired. I want to add things to my life to replace taking care of the family and working; Habit Stacking is a boon to getting life things done no matter how you spend the rest of the day.

Habit Stacking is a favorite book of mine because each habit is concise. We all have things we want to get started on. Here's a plan to develop these specifics. You'll be amazed at the end of a week at seeing improvements in your behavior and by the end of a month or so, the stack will be habits.
This book delivers on its premise. It provides the instructions to create small habit stacks in your day to day life then supplies 127 examples of such small habits divided by 'area' (health, career, etc.) (and a few examples of habit stacks too). I agree with other reviewers that the habits are not that innovative but they should be used as a starting point for shaping one's own stacks and *not* as the sole go-to master list. Nothing beats creating custom-tailored habits for your own needs and the large amount of examples lets you do just that.

The tips & tricks for overcoming obstacles when building up habits are a welcomed addition to this book. Again, not groundbreaking but nonetheless useful to have.

tl;dr - this book should be used as an instruction manual with examples for creating habit stacks then applied individually according to one's needs. No magic involved.
I gave it 3 stars because stacking your habits is a great idea and the first part has some useful information. For the price, it's worth reading the version just to get ideas on how to "stack" habits, which I think could really lead to increased productivity. He talks about 3 kinds of habits, if I remember correctly he labeled them supporting, elephant, and keystone. This made a lot of sense. The only disappointing part of the book is that after reading through the first part, I was looking forward to the 127 habits. But they were so obvious - nothing new or original that you don't already know.
