Habit stacking—linking a new habit to an existing one—works well for neurodivergent brains because it piggybacks on familiar cues. Chaos magnifies the effect by timing prompts to the exact moment you’re ready.
Identify Anchor Habits
List dependable routines
Choose anchors you perform daily, such as boiling the kettle or setting your commute playlist. James Clear’s research shows tying habits to existing cues increases follow-through.[1]
Attach specific actions
Define the exact behaviour: “After I brew tea, I’ll review the day’s top three tasks.” Feed the phrase to Chaos so it can reinforce the stack.
Use Contextual Prompts
Leverage location data
Enable geofenced reminders. When you enter the kitchen in the morning, the assistant whispers, “While the kettle boils, pick one micro-win from our micro-wins list.”
Exploit timing windows
Chaos notices if meetings end early and suggests the stacked habit immediately, helping you seize the momentum.
Reinforce with Reflection
End-of-day recaps
Ask the assistant for a daily summary noting which stacks fired. Reflective practice improves habit retention.[2]
Habit stacking paired with context-aware AI transforms good intentions into lived routines. The assistant keeps the rhythm while you enjoy the results.
