When our son was younger we loved playing with Duplo together as a family. We’d dump a big pile of blocks on the floor and start stacking. We could spend hours building and playing like that.

During one of our Duplo playtimes, I noticed something interesting: we each had a distinct way of playing with the Duplo blocks.

It reminds me of Your Habit Style: your natural style to help you build habits for an easy and effective daily routine.

In working with one to one coaching clients, I discovered three different habit styles: the Painter’s palette, the Builder’s mortar and the Chef’s cookbook.

Insight into the habit styles explains why some people thrive on structure, while structure can completely stifle others. And why sudden changes in daily routine can stress some people, while others welcome the playful flexibility.

Sometimes we'll see a lot online or get well-meaning advice that has been tailored to one habit style. If you're noticing that it doesn't work for you, you might just have a different habit style.
