Behavioral research has a clear finding most people overlook: Small changes are often more likely to stick — and more likely to compound — than ambitious overhauls.

That's worth keeping in mind as the days get short, your calendar gets jam-packed, and motivation for the big stuff — hitting your protein goals, starting a new workout program, training for a marathon — starts to wane. You can do less and still move the needle for your health.

Some habits to consider to help you stay on track (and sane as the holiday season approaches):

Schedule phone-free breaks throughout the day. Research suggests that constant notifications keep us in a state of anticipation for the next dopamine hit from a text, comment, or headline. Cutting back on smartphone time can reduce stress, steady your mood, and boost energy, not to mention tame the mental fatigue that comes from having too many things percolating in your mind.

Eat dinner earlier to sleep better. Eating too close to bedtime can increase blood sugar when your body's trying to settle into sleep. One study found eating within three hours of bedtime was associated with waking up more during the night.

Sleep with your phone outside your bedroom. 83% of middle-aged people keep their phone in the bedroom, and 43% check it within 10 minutes of falling asleep. Phone use within 30 minutes of bedtime is linked to delayed bedtimes, shorter sleep, and next-day drowsiness.

In today’s article, you’ll get two more small habits that can have compounding benefits, plus learn how:

Your circadian rhythm relies evening inputs to set your next-day energy and focus

Mild dehydration impairs the executive function required to build any new habit

In a season that’s constantly asking you to do more, pay attention to what helps you feel your best. Then protect it.

MAKING HABITS STICK

Animated GIF of Chris Williamson sitting indoors, and another clip of him speaking, with a play button overlay.

Chris Williamson has a rule for building (and breaking) habits: Don't miss two days in a row.

Research on habit formation backs him up:

⚡ People who slipped but resumed the next day saw their progress continue as if the gap never happened.

⚡ Each successful recovery makes the next one easier.

⚡ Simpler actions become automatic faster.

So on days you slip up, just get back on track as soon as you can. You're keeping a pattern alive and consistency matters most.
