1. The Magical Cue: Make It obvious Imagine you have a treasure map, but it's hidden. The first law is all about making that map obvious, so you can find your treasure. For good habits, you need to have big, bold signs pointing you in the right direction. It's like putting a neon sign on your soccer ball if you want to practice more. But for bad habits, you need to hide that treasure map, like putting your video games in a drawer, so you won't see them all the time.

ts, you need to make them as thrilling as an adventure. If you want to read more, find exciting books about your favorite heroes. But for bad habits, you have to make them look less fun. Imagine broccoli as the heroes' power food, and candy as the villains' tricks.
3. The Wondrous Response: Make It Easy Heroes don't face big, scary dragons every day. They start with baby steps. To build good habits, make those steps as easy as blowing out a birthday candle. If you want to practice your guitar, keep it where you can see it and play it for just a few minutes a day. But for bad habits, you need to put obstacles in the way. Imagine your video game controller hidden in a locked treasure chest!
4. The Rewarding Treasure: Make It Satisfying Every adventure ends with a treasure, right? For good habits, you need a super rewarding treasure, like a big high-five or a special treat after you've read your books. But for bad habits, you need to hide that treasure, like avoiding too much screen time and making bedtime more exciting with a cool bedtime story.
