Don’t drown in the extra effort

When stacking a new habit onto your progression, it’s okay to peel back one of your existing habits to acquire the new one. Acquiring the new habit requires extra energy units because of the learning curve, creating new neural pathways, attention, focus, effort and time. After a week or so, bring back the habit you’d put on standby, once the learning and acquisition efforts of the new habit have stabilized and plateaued.
