Next, you need to consider when you’ll do your mini-habit.
Your mini-habit can be time-based or trigger-based. Time-based happens at an exact time, such as at 9pm. Trigger-based is connecting your mini-habit to something you’re already doing habitually.
If you know you’re always likely to be free after class finishes at 3pm, or after the kids go to bed at 9pm, then having a time-based mini-habit is probably a good fit for your lifestyle.
If your schedule is somewhat irregular, then connecting the mini-habit to something you already do could work better. An example could be after brushing your teeth, or whenever you feel the urge to open Facebook.
The good thing about mini-habits is you have the flexibility to test it out in your routine and shift things around until you strike a routine that works for you before “leveling up” by clocking in more “bonuses”.
The Prophet SAW once said, “The most beloved of deeds to Allah are those that are most consistent, even if it is small. ~ Source: Sunan Ibn Mājah 4240, Sahih (Al-Albani)
