Three tiers of success
An elastic habit can stretch laterally and vertically. This means you can adjust the type of activity and the intensity of a habit to suit the unique texture of each day. Tired? Go for the easy mini win. Energized? Push your limits with an elite win!
In Elastic Habits, you'll discover:
- Why flexible habits are more resilient than static habits
- The benefits of different goal sizes, and when to use each
- How to build habits with multiple win conditions instead of just one

Elastic Habits Examples:
- You want to go to the gym daily. But your gym is closed for the holiday. With an elastic habit, you can pivot to a home workout. You've prepared for it!
- You're exhausted from spin class. Instead of canceling your plans to work in the garden, you pull 5 weeds for a mini win.
- When building habits, consistency matters most. With a flexible system, you will be prepared for any situation. Whether you want to push your limits or recharge, your winning streak stays alive.
A variety of wins!
Elastic habits are dynamic, just like your life
The different colors you see here represent different tiers of success.
Mini (easy) = Green
Plus (medium) = Blue
Elite (hard) = Red
Elastic Habits vs Other Habit Systems
- More exciting and motivating with upgrades, a scoring system, and self-competition
- More flexible to survive bad days and thrive on good days
- More useful to detect patterns and adjust (ex: how much rest do you need after going all out?)
