Thanks for calling your posts to my attention! I’ll take a look at them before the next cycle of habit-building rolls around. My sense is that positive (and especially negative) reinforcement learning are overpowered in habit-building as well, but I don’t know of a systematic way to apply it to every problem—fast feedback loops seem to be essential.
Point 2 is absolutely correct. Regardless of whether we use TAPs or reinforcement learning to build habits, the general principle is that every habit can be built out of tiny microhabits that you learn and become comfortable with one at a time.
