Minimum viable habit: a fully functional version of a much smaller behavior designed to prove that the behavioral anchor works — that you can reliably execute the behavior in its prescribed context — before investing in expanding it
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely captures the meaning of 'minimum viable habit' by establishing its genus (behavioral design approach) and differentia (smallest version that still constitutes doing the thing, designed to prove anchor works). It distinguishes this from a half-built habit and explains its purpose in the habit formation process, making it central to understanding the curriculum's approach to habit design.
