Designing Healthy Habits that Last, presented by the Calm app team
–
January 8, 2025
A habit is an auto-pilot behavior that we repeat on a daily basis. These behaviors feel automatic because they skip the decision-making part of your brain. This frees up energy for your brain to think about other things. During this one hour session, participants will explore why your brain forms habits and how habits work while designing a personalized habit recipe.
