The first thing to remember is that there is no one solution for every behavior challenge. Our job is to adjust the components - Motivation, Ability, and Prompt - and find out what combination works best in each circumstance to get the behavior we want.

To generate lots of behavior options, you can use the following categories during your own Magic Wanding sessions.

• What behaviors would you do one time? 

• What new habits would you create? 

• What habit would you stop?

After you come up with each behavior wish, think to yourself, Great. What else? and keep going. Eventually, you will have a Swarm of Behaviors that will range from wacky to logical to surprising. And that’s a good thing.

In the previous chapters, you’ve already been working on Behavior Crafting even though I didn’t use that term. You have already learned how to:

• Identify a lot of behavior options (chapter 2) 

• Match yourself with behaviors that will lead to your aspiration (chapter 2) 

• Make the behavior easier to do (chapter 3)

Steps in Behavior Design:

Step 1: Clarify the Aspiration

Step 2: Explore Behavior Options

Step 3: Match with Specific Behaviors

Step 4: Start Tiny

Step 5: Find a Good Prompt

Step 6: Celebrate Successes

Step 7: Troubleshoot, Iterate, & Expand

The answer is so important, I’ll say it three times in different ways: Pick the easiest one. Pick the one you are most sure you can do. Pick the one that feels like no big deal.
