I use something called habit-stacking. This sounds a lot like habit-stacking. Simple example: one of my morning meds is a topical gel, so I need to go wash my hands. Which means, since I'm in the bathroom, I can shave my face and then brush my teeth. :) If-then-if-then. Stacked habits.

It's essentially Classical Conditioning aka Pavlov's Dog. All this If/Then and Habit Stacking etc. has been around for years. I've set it up so if I wash my hands, I have a drink of water. The water is right there, so drinking water is an easy habit to add onto washing my hands. Now, if the water is running, I get the urge to want a drink of water.
