  1. The COM-B Model and Behavior Change Wheel
    COM-B (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behavior) is a diagnostic framework developed by Michie and colleagues that maps the three conditions any behavior requires: you must be able to do it, have the opportunity to do it, and want to do it. Research supporting COM-B as a systematic intervention framework is largely expert-consensus and observational rather than RCT; its main value is stopping you from applying the wrong lever.
  2. Use social opportunity — others who make the behavior normal
    Position yourself in social contexts where your target behavior is modeled, expected, or easy to perform with others.

  3. Diagnose before you prescribe with COM-B
    Before picking a strategy, identify which of Capability, Opportunity, or Motivation is the bottleneck.

  4. Build psychological capability through knowledge and practice
    Acquire the understanding and self-regulatory skill the behavior demands before expecting consistent performance.

  5. Strengthen automatic motivation through cue-response pairings
    Build automatic, habitual pulls toward the behavior so it does not compete for conscious motivation each time.

  6. Clarify reflective motivation through values and goals
    Articulate why the behavior matters to you — in your own words, tied to your own values.

  7. Match your intervention type to the COM-B gap
    Use the Behavior Change Wheel to select the intervention approach that fits the diagnosed gap — not your default.

  8. Install feedback loops to track behavior and adjust
    Measure the behavior directly and use the data to update your intervention, not just your motivation.

  9. The Big Five Personality Model
    The Big Five (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism — OCEAN) is the most empirically validated personality framework in academic psychology. Knowing your trait profile is useful not as a fixed identity but as a statistical map of your behavioral tendencies under different conditions — especially as a diagnostic for where effort and environmental design can close the gap between your natural defaults and your goals.
  10. Build physical capability through deliberate skill repetition
    If you lack the physical skill or stamina a behavior requires, practice it in low-stakes conditions until it is automatic.
