Build a cue and a small routine · D9.6

Design a repeatable cue and action

You want to make an ordinary routine easier to remember.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Choose a small action and an existing cue that naturally precedes it.
2. Make the needed materials accessible and try the pairing.
3. Notice whether the cue worked and adjust the setup without assuming each repetition proves a brain change.

An example

After reviewing the calendar, I place the papers for the next appointment in my bag.

Reflect

Was the cue reliable in your actual routine?

Next time

Change the design when circumstances change.
