An existing habit is the best reminder for a new one. In Yolmira, this is called an Anchor: "after my shower, ten minutes of reading".
Set an anchor
- Open the new habit's editor (expand its card, then Edit).
- Scroll to Options, then Anchor.
- Under After a habit?, tap the habit it should follow. None removes the anchor.
- Save.
What happens next
When you check off the anchor, a calm card appears: You just did … And now? Tap Done if you did the new habit, or Later to come back to it.
Stack on a habit that has become automatic
Once a habit is acquired, its card offers Stack a new habit on it. That's a good moment to start the next one, because the old habit has become a reliable cue.
Tip. Pick an anchor that happens every day at a stable moment, and keep the new habit small. Ideas in 25 habit stacking examples.
