Why a 15 minute daily routine timer works
- Anchor it to an existing habit
- Same time, same place
- Track the streak, not the output
Anchor the block to something you already do every day. Habit research puts the formation window at roughly two months, and an anchor shortens it considerably.

Questions people ask
How long before a 15 minute daily routine becomes a habit?
Habit research points to somewhere between two and eight months, with about two months as a common average. Anchoring the block to something you already do every day shortens it considerably.
What if the job is not finished?
Stop anyway and note where you reached. Two or three blocks will tell you the real size of it, which is more useful than a guess.
What if I do not finish in 15 minutes?
Stop anyway and note where you reached. The point of the block is that it repeats tomorrow, and it only repeats if it stays short enough not to dread.
