In fact, even new habits put up a pretty good fight. It\u2019s simply part of human psychology. So how can we harness the power of habits for the benefit of our digital products? In this article, we\u2019ll explore this idea and give you a great method that you can implement right away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has to do with making changes to our products (websites, apps, etc.). We must proceed with caution when it comes to changing things in our products as people tend to be wary of changes\u2014another psychological phenomenon. If you make jarring changes to your product you run a real risk of losing a lot of your users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But before we get to the method itself, we\u2019ll lay the foundation by looking at two concepts which may not at first seem related. Bare with me\u2014I promise it\u2019ll all make sense in the end. Let\u2019s turn now to habits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anatomy of a Habit<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether positive or negative, we can break habits down into a structure of 4 linear stages:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-670\" src=\"https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.31.10.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.31.10.png 748w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.31.10-300x72.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It starts with some kind of cue which then triggers a craving. You respond to that craving and then receive some sort of reward. Here\u2019s an example habit to help grasp how this works:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cue:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Walking past a bakery and smelling fresh croissants<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Craving<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: I want to eat the hell out of some croissants now<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Response<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Going into the bakery and buying some croissants<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Reward: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sweet sweet croissants in my belly (pleasure centers of the brain are activated and dopamine is released)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The habit that developed from this activity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Getting myself a croissant every time I go past that bakery<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s another example related to our digital world:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cue<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: A mobile app notification<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Craving<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Checking the content of that notification<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Response<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Check your phone<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Reward: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phone is clear of notifications<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The habit that developed from this activity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: checking your phone every time there is a new notification<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It doesn\u2019t just end with checking your phone or eating pastries; habits have a huge impact on our daily lives and dictate nearly every action we take. Oftentimes these actions are so hardwired into our neurons that we might be completely unaware of some of our habits, such as biting our nails or automatically typing \u201cFacebook\u201d every time we open the browser.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UX Element Grouping<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I mentioned before that we need to look at <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">two<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> concepts before we explore our method for the safe an easy implementation of changes to our products. This is the second and it\u2019s an important UX principle that anyone who works on any kind of product should be familiar with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea is that elements of a UX design that are grouped together, are perceived as being related to one another. There are two major ways of grouping UX elements together which are based on the concept of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashingmagazine.com\/2014\/03\/design-principles-visual-perception-and-the-principles-of-gestalt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gestalt<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common Areas<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UX elements are perceived as being part of a group when they are placed together in the same closed-off area. So an easy way to show a connection between elements is to enclose them in some way. Everything inside the enclosure will be seen as being related while everything outside the enclosure will be seen as separate. Have a look at the illustration below. Even though all the circles are the same, we view them as two distinct groups due to the boxes they are in. It\u2019s not a conscious thought\u2014we automatically perceive it that way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-668\" src=\"https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.29.40.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"479\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.29.40.png 962w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.29.40-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.29.40-768x406.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A simple box is probably the most common way to group related elements. Another popular technique is to place elements on a different background color from their surroundings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proximity <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next technique is to group elements together in close proximity. By separating groups with a space we naturally perceive them as separate. On the contrary, when elements are placed close to one another, they are seen as part of a single group as opposed to being individual elements. This is particularly clear when the elements in a group are closer to one another than they are to those elements outside the group.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-669\" src=\"https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.30.38-1024x452.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"565\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.30.38-1024x452.png 1024w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.30.38-300x132.png 300w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.30.38-768x339.png 768w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.30.38.png 1202w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 565px) 100vw, 565px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The objects need not be related in any other way beyond being grouped in close proximity to one another for them to be seen as being a single group. Pretty straightforward, really. Even if you weren&#8217;t aware of it consciously, you were at least intuitively aware of it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this understanding in mind, we want to take these two concepts\u2014the structure of habits and the rules of element grouping\u2014and wield them to change a habit in our users or help them develop a new one. This could be something like guiding them to different tasks or new features that will help them use our product in a new and better way.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microcopy stacking <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So far we\u2019ve learned that habits have a repetitive 4 stage structure of cue, craving, response and reward, and that objects in close proximity or sectioned off somehow are perceived as part of a single group. Let\u2019s use this to our product\u2019s and users\u2019 advantage with a method called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">microcopy stacking<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a person wants to develop a new habit, there\u2019s a method called \u201chabit stacking\u201d which connects the new desired habit to an old one. For example, if I want to get in shape and decide to do 10 pushups every day before I go to bed, the only thing I need to do is to connect or \u2018stack\u2019 that habit on top of a habit I already have. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I can decide that every night after I brush my teeth I\u2019ll do 10 push ups. In this manner, it will be easy for me to develop that new habit because it\u2019s being stacked on top of an existing habit. Likewise, <\/span><b>microcopy stacking is adding a piece of content to an existing task\u2014a task the user is familiar with\u2014that will help the user to achieve a new goal.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook, for example, uses microcopy stacking when they want to encourage me to try to increase the number of people that like my page by showing me the number of new likes I have each week:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-671\" src=\"https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.31.52.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"459\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.31.52.png 853w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.31.52-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.31.52-768x578.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 459px) 100vw, 459px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook knows that I\u2019m looking at my page performance already, so they \u201cstacked\u201d microcopy on top of it to encourage me to take an action.

Follow these 4 simple steps to get started.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Plan a Habit<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What kind of habits you would like your users to develop when using your app? Don\u2019t think about the business or product goals yet, but focus on what kinds of habits will make life for your users better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example: You have an ecommerce store that delivers socks and you want to upsell your users a foot cream every time they buy socks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Map Different Potential Touchpoints<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Map all of the areas in a product that might support the habit that you want to transform for your users. Use Google Sheets or Excel to stay organized and just list them out. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind the rules of UX element grouping (common areas and proximity). To continue with our example, if you want your socks ecommerce customers to buy your foot cream every time they go to the store, think about where the best place to locate foot cream would be. Then add these ideas to your touchpoints mapping spreadsheet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Define Content Elements<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decide what kind of content elements you are going to add to each touchpoint. Is it going to be a helper text next to a CTA or is it going to be a complicated component that has a headline, paragraph, illustration, and a button?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-672\" src=\"https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.33.11.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"778\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.33.11.png 778w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.33.11-300x93.png 300w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-04-at-12.33.11-768x238.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 778px) 100vw, 778px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Present It to Your Team<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now it\u2019s time to choose to which touchpoint(s) to add that piece of content. You may want to use all of the microcopy stacking elements and you may want to use only one of them. It depends on the product\u2019s priority and probably several other factors. That\u2019s why it\u2019s best to make a team decision on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Embrace Change<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, old habits do die hard. But if we understand this we can use it to the advantage of both our users and products. If you want to change your users\u2019 habits, first understand the structure of those habits. While keeping in mind the psychological rules of proximity and common areas, plan the habit that you want to create for your users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you want them to use your meditation app every morning for 10 minutes? Great! Map all of the points in your product that you can stack relevant microcopy on top of and choose what kind of content element you are going to create. Simple as that!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So don\u2019t just go making changes to your digital products without care\u2014remember to ease your users into the changes by helping them develop new habits stacked on old ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have a question about microcopy stacking?
