Frequently Asked Questions

HabitGlue works in two ways:

1. Before Events: Select a trigger (like "Meeting" or "Kids Bedtime") and optionally a topic (like "Psychology" or "Parenting"). View 1-3 relevant Habit Primers with habit reinforcement tips. Read the content to reinforce desired behavior before the event happens.
2. Daily Tracking: Use the habit tracker to log small, achievable micro-habits daily or weekly. Track your progress, build streaks, and see your long-term improvement toward larger aspirations.

The combination of contextual reinforcement (right information at the right time) and consistent micro-habit tracking helps make new behaviors stick.

HabitGlue is unique in several ways:

• Contextual Reinforcement: Most habit trackers just track completion. HabitGlue delivers relevant content before events to reinforce behaviors when you need them most.
• Micro-Habit Focus: We focus on small, achievable habits rather than overwhelming you with too many goals. Small wins build momentum.
• Long-Term Engagement: Features designed to keep you engaged beyond the initial few months, when most people abandon habit tracking apps.
• Simple & Focused: Minimal interface that doesn't overwhelm. No complex gamification or social features that distract from the core goal.

Habit Primers are short pieces of habit reinforcement content that appear before important events. For example:

• Before a meeting: Tips on active listening or confident communication
• Before kids bedtime: Parenting strategies for calm bedtime routines
• Before a workout: Motivation and form reminders
• Before a presentation: Public speaking tips and confidence boosters

You select a trigger (the event) and optionally a topic (the area of focus), and HabitGlue shows you 1-3 relevant Habit Primers. This delivers the right information at the right time to reinforce new behaviors when you need them most.

Micro-habits are small, easily achievable habits that build toward larger aspirations. Instead of setting a big goal like "Exercise more," you might track:

• "Do 5 push-ups" (daily)
• "Read 1 page" (daily)
• "Meditate for 2 minutes" (daily)
• "Review weekly goals" (weekly)

The key is making habits so small that you can't say no. This builds consistency and momentum. Over time, these micro-habits compound into significant progress toward your larger aspirations. HabitGlue focuses on these small wins rather than overwhelming you with complex goals.

Yes! HabitGlue allows you to create your own Habit Primers. You can:

• Create custom triggers (events) like "Before Workout" or "Before Date Night"
• Create custom topics like "Fitness" or "Relationships"
• Write your own habit reinforcement content
• Link Habit Primers to specific triggers and topics

This makes HabitGlue personalized to your specific goals and situations. You can also use the built-in library of Habit Primers created by the community.

Habit tracking in HabitGlue is simple:

1. Create a habit: Add a micro-habit with a name, frequency (daily or weekly), and optional description.
2. Track completion: Each day (or week), mark the habit as complete when you do it.
3. Build streaks: See your current streak and longest streak for motivation.
4. View analytics: See your completion rates, progress over time, and insights into your habit formation.

The focus is on consistency with small, achievable habits rather than perfection. Missing a day doesn't break your progress - it's about building long-term consistency.

Getting started is simple:

1. Sign up: Create an account and choose your subscription plan
2. Create your first habit: Start with a small micro-habit (like "5 push-ups" or "Read 1 page")
3. Set up triggers: Create triggers for events where you want reinforcement (like "Before Meeting" or "Kids Bedtime")
4. View Habit Primers: Before important events, select your trigger and topic to see relevant habit reinforcement content
5. Track daily: Mark your habits as complete each day to build streaks and momentum

Start small, be consistent, and let the micro-habits compound into bigger results over time.

Here are best practices for using HabitGlue effectively:

• Start with 2-3 micro-habits: Don't overwhelm yourself. Focus on consistency with a few small habits first.
• Make habits tiny: Set habits so small you can't say no. "5 push-ups" is better than "workout for 30 minutes."
• Use Habit Primers: Before important events, take 2 minutes to view relevant Habit Primers. This reinforces behaviors when you need them most.
• Track daily: Make checking HabitGlue part of your morning or evening routine.
• Be patient: Building habits takes time. Focus on consistency, not perfection.
• Review progress: Use the analytics to see your streaks and completion rates. Celebrate small wins.

The key is making it a daily habit to use HabitGlue, just like the habits you're trying to build.

HabitGlue is perfect for:

• Entrepreneurs and professionals: Who want to improve performance in meetings, presentations, and work habits
• Self-improvers: Who want to build better personal development habits and access wisdom regularly
• Parents: Who want reinforcement before important moments like kids bedtime or family time
• Anyone struggling with habit consistency: Who has tried other habit trackers but stopped using them after a few months
• People who value contextual learning: Who understand that timing matters when reinforcing new behaviors

If you're looking for a simple, focused habit tracker that helps you build long-term consistency through contextual reinforcement, HabitGlue is for you.
