About HabitDex

HabitDex exists to solve a simple problem: there are dozens of science-backed methods for building and breaking habits, but the information is scattered across books, papers, and blog posts. We bring it all together in one place — researched, rated, and explained.

Our Methodology

Every method on HabitDex is evaluated across five dimensions: difficulty, willpower required, setup complexity, time investment, and strength of scientific evidence. Ratings are based on peer-reviewed research, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews — not opinions or anecdotes. Read our full rating methodology →

Built With Research, Not Opinions

We cite specific studies, explain the underlying mechanisms, and acknowledge limitations. If a method lacks strong evidence, we say so. If it works brilliantly for some people but not others, we explain why.
