The Tiny Habits
Method
Direct from the
Stanford Behavior Design Lab—
a proven system to effectively design for positive, lasting change.
Why Tiny Habits?
The Science Behind
Lasting Change
Our program is built on Tiny Habits® Method, the breakthrough behavior-change system developed by Dr. BJ Fogg, a Stanford researcher and author of the bestselling book Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything. Unlike traditional approaches that rely on willpower and motivation, Tiny Habits focuses on leveraging how human behavior really works to get real-world results.
Key Insights from Tiny Habits:
-
Big changes start tiny – Tiny actions, like taking one deep breath or writing one sentence, create momentum.
-
No willpower required – Tiny Habits are designed to feel effortless and natural and fit seamlessly into daily life.
-
Emotions create habits – Celebrating small wins rewires the brain, making new habits stick.
Students don’t just learn what to do—they learn how to create habits fast that last, making academic success easy and sustainable.
Tiny Habits for Student Success Program
Unlike traditional programs, this Tiny Habits for Student Success focuses on behavior change—helping students take action in ways that feel easy and achievable. It meets learners where they are and gives them practical tools they can implement immediately.
What Makes Our Program Unique?
Proven Science
Grounded in research and proven methodologies from the Stanford Behavior Design Lab, not just generic study tips
Most student success programs tell students what they should do—study more, manage time better, reduce stress—but few teach them how to actually make those changes stick. This workshop is built on Tiny Habits®, the breakthrough behavior-change method developed at Stanford University by Dr. BJ Fogg. Used by leading businesses, healthcare organizations, and high-performance teams, Tiny Habits is the #1 research-backed system for creating sustainable, long-term change. Students don’t just learn theories—they get science-based strategies that actually work.
Behavior Based
Focused on small, strategic actions that naturally grow into bigger habits
Traditional time management and study skills programs assume students will make big, immediate changes, which often leads to frustration and failure. Instead, this workshop takes a different approach—helping students start with tiny, effortless habits that fit into their existing routines. These successful habits create momentum, making it easier for students to stay consistent and build lasting habits for success. No willpower required.
Personalized Learning
Addresses students' biggest barrier to academic success
When it comes to academic success, every student struggles with something different. For some, it’s stress and anxiety holding them back. For others, it’s poor time management or ineffective study habits. Instead of delivering one-size-fits-all generic advice, this workshop helps students self-identify their top academic or personal challenge. Each student then works on building habits specifically tailored to their needs, ensuring the strategies they develop are immediately relevant and impactful.
Instantly Actionable
Equips students with practical skills they can use immediately
This isn’t a passive lecture—it’s an interactive, hands-on experience. By the end of the session, students will have already created their own personalized Tiny Habit recipes for managing stress, staying on top of assignments, and improving their study habits. They’ll leave not just knowing what to do, but already doing it—with the confidence to keep building success habits long after the workshop ends.
