Premortem for Habits
Premortem for habits plans by imagining failure first—listing why a routine would break so you build backups before starting.
Premortem for habits imagines your new routine already failed, then lists why—travel, stress, social events, equipment gaps—so you pre-build if-then backups before launch day. It beats optimistic planning that collapses at the first obstacle.
Spend ten minutes per goal with written failure modes.
Common questions
-
How is premortem different from positive visualization?
Premortem surfaces obstacles and fixes; visualization alone skips failure modes. Do both: visualize success after listing concrete backups.
