Abstract: The disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for facilitating formation of a new habit through use of a client device. A user may designate via a Habit Design Application on the client device or a networked peripheral a desired Habit step, Trigger step, Anchor step, and Anchor condition. Upon detection of an occurrence of the Anchor step, the Habit Design Application may provide a reminder to the new user to perform the Trigger step and Habit step in response to at least the occurrence of the Anchor step. When a user is designating a habit design sequence, a Habit Design Service Provider networked to the Habit Design Application may utilize machine learning techniques over a data storage to determine from crowdsourced data the optimal Habit steps, habit design sequences, or habit design steps associated with the fastest onset of previous users' self-reported automaticity for the Habit step.
