Making Habits Stick!

Making Habits Stick - Not all that Easy, but here's a little Tip
I was having a conversation within some networking, discussing around getting motivated to do things and in particular exercise, and how I have a morning routine.
One particular discussion was getting into the habit of doing exercise, or doing whatever action you want to do, which brought me back to James Clear’s Book – ‘Atomic Habits’.
What I do to start Building a Habit, is anchor it to something that is already in my routine, James calls it ‘Habit Stacking’, I didn’t realise this, I was already calling it ‘Anchoring’.
As an example, one of the first things I do in the morning is have a coffee, but I wanted to ensure I did my exercise in the morning as well, so I anchored it to the coffee routine, I wasn’t allowed my coffee until I have done my weights and Exercise, in James words ‘Habit Stacking’.
I’ve done the same when my dog gets taken for a walk, I anchored (stacked) this with reading my book. I’ve used this on multiple occasions and it’s a superb way of turning an action into a habit and routine.
Give it a go.

Why directors of UK mid sized manufacturers often disagree about what's capping growth without realising it, what that hidden misalignment costs in split budgets and stalled initiatives, and how the Four Answers Test reveals it in one 45 minute meeting using a scored alignment total and a confidence gap.
A quiet diagnostic exercise for MDs of UK medium sized manufacturers: list every decision you made last week, mark those that reached you through habit, history or a missing written rule, then note how long each one waited, to see how much critical knowledge runs through too few heads.
Follow one £186,000 UK manufacturing contract from quote to bank and see exactly where the margin goes: a discount agreed in the last five minutes, stale material prices, panels scrapped after a drawing revision, ten days of invoice drift, a bounced part number and five months funding someone else's business.
UK manufacturing growth numbers get committed in the boardroom, the bank, to a group MD or across the kitchen table, while the capacity, decision rights and reporting lines needed to deliver them are quietly assumed rather than built. A practical look at where that gap comes from and what closing it actually requires.
UK manufacturing firms stall at roughly £3m, £10m and £25m for structural reasons, not effort. This guide explains each growth ceiling, the warning signs (decisions queueing on the owner, revenue rising while margin flatlines, knowledge trapped in 3 or 4 heads), and the specific changes that break through each one.
How UK engineering, defence and confidential contract manufacturers build authority when NDAs, IP restrictions and export controls block the obvious approach.
A practical risk register for UK micro and medium manufacturers: ten marketing roadblocks, including capacity limits, late payment cash flow squeezes, key person dependency, platform changes and staff turnover, each paired with an early warning sign and a specific contingency to plan around before it derails growth.
For UK manufacturers, marketing stops and starts because of capacity, ownership and planning, not willpower. Here is a routine that survives busy months.
How UK manufacturers can turn "that's not my job" into lasting accountability using the PDCA cycle (Plan, Do, Check, Act) and a daily governance rhythm, explained with real shop floor examples.
KPIs are health metrics you track continuously, such as OEE, OTIF and scrap rate. OKRs are quarterly change goals with a start point and a finish point. UK manufacturers turning over £5m to £50m usually need trustworthy KPIs before OKRs will work at all.
