Brain Health Network provides the latest information and simple steps for brain health. However we recognise that information on its own doesn’t lead to sustainable lifestyle change. That’s why we’ve worked with Dr BJ Fogg to bring you an introduction to his Tiny Habits® methodology. Keep reading to find out more, and how Tiny Habits can help you keep your brain healthy.
BJ Fogg, PhD, founded the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University. In addition to his research, Fogg teaches industry innovators how human behavior really works. He created the Tiny Habits Academy to help people around the world. He lives in Northern California and Maui.

The essence of Tiny Habits is this: Take a behaviour you want, make it tiny, find where it fits naturally in your life, and nurture its growth. If you want to create long-term change, it’s best to start small.
With the Tiny Habits method, you focus on small actions that you can do in less than thirty seconds. When something is tiny, it’s easy to do - which means you don’t need to rely on the unreliable nature of motivation.
