What is the Habit Breakdown worksheet?
The habit breakdown worksheet is a two-page sheet built around four numbered steps, starting with Step 1: Identify The Habit. Step 2 splits the habit into five numbered rows under Steps and Action. Steps 3 and 4 cover obstacles, solutions, cues and rewards.
How to use the Habit Breakdown worksheet
Use this sheet both in session and as homework. Start in session with ‘Why is this habit important to you?’, since a habit chosen for someone else’s reasons rarely survives week two. Then keep Step 2 small: the first row should be something the client could do today. Your clients can fill the Potential Obstacles and Potential Solutions pairs at home, naming obstacles that have already happened rather than ones they imagine.
