How to Build Habits That Stick (Even If You Think You Have No Willpower)

This course is designed specifically for people who have repeatedly tried and struggled to build productive habits, often blaming themselves for a lack of willpower. If you feel that you get inspired, make a plan, but then life gets in the way—this course is for you. Here, you will not just learn popular techniques, but deeply understand why some methods fail you, and how to create a truly sustainable, personalized system for building productive habits.

Who is this course for?

• People who have started new habits multiple times but struggled to keep them.
• Those who feel their willpower is “too weak” to make lasting changes.
• Anyone frustrated by advice that doesn’t fit their real life, personality, or challenges.
• Individuals who want to move from theory into practical, actionable strategies for real change.

What will you learn?

• The real science behind habits: how your brain forms and maintains them, why automaticity is so powerful, and why it’s so hard to change the status quo.
• How psychological, neurological, and even psychiatric perspectives influence habit formation (including ADHD, anxiety, and addictive behaviors).
• Why relying on willpower alone almost never works—and what to do instead.
• The most influential habit-building models and tools from world-renowned authors and researchers.
• Common mistakes (like perfectionism, vague goals, and ignoring context) and how to avoid them.
• How to analyze your own “habit profile”: your motivation type, willpower level, environment, personality, and more.
• How to select and adapt strategies for your individual situation, even if you have a history of failed attempts.
• How to use tracking, rewards, social support, and mindfulness to lock in real progress.

Course Benefits:

• Gain a deep, research-based understanding of habit formation that goes far beyond typical “life hacks”.
• Learn to build habits that are realistic, sustainable, and fit your unique life—including your difficulties and setbacks.
• Develop self-kindness and resilience by normalizing obstacles and breakdowns, and focusing on progress, not perfection.
• Walk away with a toolkit of strategies and a clear, actionable plan designed specifically for you.

Course Approach:

• Scientific Validity: Every concept and tool is based on psychological and neuroscientific research.
• Practical Applicability: Each module moves from theory to real-life practice, with clear steps and exercises.
• Personalization: No “one-size-fits-all” solutions. You’ll learn to diagnose your own barriers and customize your approach.
• Comprehensiveness: We cover biological, psychological, and environmental factors—so you can address all aspects of habit change.
• Realism: We tackle the myth of “perfect self-control” and help you make peace with setbacks as part of the process.

Upon completion, you will:

• Understand why habits are the foundation of productivity and well-being.
• Know how to break down and rebuild habits using proven models and strategies.
• Have a clear, personalized plan for building new habits and overcoming common pitfalls.
• Feel empowered to sustain changes—even if you’ve failed before.

This is not just a course about habits—it’s a course about understanding yourself and designing a system that finally works for you.
