Habit Echo Effect
The habit echo effect is when one completed behavior makes the next positive action more likely the same day—a walk leading to a logged lunch, a logged lunch leading to an earlier bedtime. Echoes power keystone habits and virtuous cycles; negative echoes cascade too.

Common questions
-

Can negative echoes happen?
Yes. One skipped morning routine can cascade into scroll and vending. Use never-miss-twice on the next anchor.
