Update on Instrumental Rationality sequence: about 40% done with a Habits 101 post. Turns out habits are denser than planning and have more intricacies. Plus, the techniques for creating / breaking habits are less well-defined and not as strong, so I’m still trying to “technique-ify” some of the more conceptual pieces.

You might already be aware of them / their contents, but I found these two papers useful in creating a habit workshop:
Wood & Rünger (2016) Psychology of Habit
Wood & Neal (in press) Habit-Based Behavior Change Interventions
Thanks for the links! I’d bumped into both papers a little while back, and I’ll indeed be citing them!
