Cue Stacking Cascade
A cue stacking cascade links each finished action to the next step in order—momentum through a routine without re-deciding every behavior.
A cue stacking cascade is when one completed action becomes the cue for the next—shoes on triggers walk, walk end triggers stretch, stretch end triggers protein shake—so momentum carries you through a routine without re-deciding each step. Order matters: weakest links go nearest the anchor, hardest tasks after easier wins.

Common questions
-
What breaks a cue stacking cascade first?
Usually a weak or invisible cue mid-chain—fix that link before reordering the whole stack. One broken link stops automatic carry-over to later steps.
