What if you could use a single method to create new habits, form them into an action chain, and stick to them? The result would be powerful and could help you get closer to achieving your goals.

‍

That’s exactly what Focus Bear does!

Using the same principles found in the popular book, Atomic Habits, Focus Bear trains you to stack habits and form systems that make it easier to reach your goals. Let’s take a closer look at this habit forming system, shall we?

‍

The Principles in Atomic Habits

Atomic Habits is about taking the small steps necessary to form new habits and reach goals. The book teaches you how to do this by breaking down the principles of habit formation into bite-size chunks, so that anyone can use them to improve their lives.

‍

Atomic Habits uses a system it calls “habit stacking” as its core technique for building better habits. Habit stacking is when you take two or more existing habits that are related and combine them together as one new routine or sequence.

‍

In other words, if I want to read more books but I’m not sure how much time I have available each day, I could stack reading with walking my dog or doing yoga in the morning. After I walk the dog, I read 5 pages.

‍

By stacking these two habits together I will eventually create a routine that turns into a habit and get closer to my goal of reading more books.

How Focus Bear uses Habit Stacking

Focus Bear is a habit stacking app that helps you stick to your habits and progress. It’s designed to minimize the amount of willpower required for you to stay consistent with your goals. After you design your habit routine, the app will guide you through each habit one at a time.

Focus Bear uses the principles of atomic habits, which means breaking down large goals into small actionable tasks that are easier to accomplish. Developing a meditation habit might seem hard but fitting in 3 minutes of deep breathing in the morning is feasible for almost anyone. Plus Focus Bear lets you use relevant Youtube videos (e.g. a meditation or breathing clip) during each activity to help increase motivation. The great thing about that is that because the videos are embedded, you don’t get the distractions from the Youtube feed.

‍

The result is a tool that can help you achieve any goal you have in mind, whether it’s related to productivity or personal growth.

Plus Focus Bear also helps you stay focused at work. It blocks out distractions to help you get crucial tasks done in record time.

‍

Why Use Habit Stacking?

When you’re trying to create a new habit, it can be difficult to keep up with all the steps involved. By breaking down your routine into small and simple steps, you can make it easier — and more likely — that you’ll stick to your habits.

‍

This method can be used to form any new habit, and it works! Focus Bear utilizes this effective system to form new habits. It’s easy to use, so you don’t need a lot of willpower or motivation. In fact, you might even find that this method encourages more positive actions than other strategies.

‍

How Does the Focus Bear App Work?

Focus Bear runs on all your devices: computers and phones. When you turn on your tech first thing in the morning, you are shielded from habit busting distractions. If you try opening Facebook, the app will take over and guide you back to your morning routine.

For people who are very disciplined and already have strong habits in place, this may seem like overkill. Kudos to them! However, if you’re in the claws of big tech and can’t seem to overcome your tendency to check Instagram or work emails first thing, having a friendly bear keep you on track in the morning will probably be very welcome.

‍

The app guides you through each habit in your stack, even playing relevant Youtube videos to increase motivation.

Once you’re done with your morning routine, it’s time to win at work. You’ll have pre-configured “super Pomodoro mode” to make sure you get into deep focus right away.

Anything apart from your pre-configured productive URLs and apps will be automatically blocked.

All that focus can have unwanted side-effects though. No-one wants to end up with a screen headache. That’s why the app regularly reminds you to stand up and stretch, drink some water, take a few deep breaths or even do a set of pullups (you choose your adventure).

At the end of the day, you’ll be proud of your progress. Not only will you have done a ton of work, you’ll be feeling nice and limber from all the stretching.

Start habit stacking today!

So, how can you apply the principles of atomic habits to your own life? One way is to focus on the process rather than the result. Instead of trying to do everything at once, try breaking each task into its smallest components and building up from there. This will help you form new habits that last longer and become more ingrained in your life over time.
