Level 1 · Warm-up

1 How long does consistent repetition typically take before a routine feels automatic?
Show worked solution
3–4 weeks of consistent repetition before the loop runs without willpower.
2 In the 20-minute routine, what happens in the last 3 minutes?
Show worked solution
Note what you learned and where to start tomorrow, then close up and take a small reward.

Level 2 · Core

3 Which anchor makes the STRONGEST habit stack?
Show worked solution
Dinner — it happens daily without fail. Homework volume varies, motivation is unreliable, and "a good day" is occasional.
4 You cannot make yourself start a session. What does the 5-minute rule say?
Show worked solution
Commit to five minutes. Usually you continue; and if you genuinely cannot focus after five, your brain may need rest rather than discipline.

Level 3 · Challenge

5 Why does the forest-path analogy warn against long breaks?
Show worked solution
Pathways weaken with disuse — after a long gap you are partly re-clearing the trail, which is why short daily practice beats long gaps.
6 Which task best fits a LOW energy (3/10) slot?
Show worked solution
Light review, organising — or genuine rest. Spending your worst hour on your hardest material wastes both.
