The H.O.R. Loop: A Simple Habit Check That Can Transform Your Results

Why this matters

You work hard.
You try to build better habits.
But the results still feel… off.

• You’re busy but not productive.
• You set goals but don’t hit them.

This isn’t a motivation problem. It’s a habit-to-outcome mismatch.

Most people keep repeating actions without pausing to ask: Is this even working?

The Fix: The H.O.R. Loop

A 3-step weekly check-in to help you course-correct fast.

H.O.R. = Habit → Outcome → Review

How to Use It:

Block 15 minutes every Friday and answer:

1. Habit: What did I do repeatedly this week?
   1. e.g. “Checked my phone first thing in the morning”.
2. Outcome: What did it lead to?
   1. e.g. “Felt anxious and scattered by 10 AM”.
3. Review: What needs to change next week?
   1. e.g. “Leave phone outside the room. Start the day with 5-min planning”.

No journal. No app. Just an honest reflection.

Why it works:

Most habits are on autopilot.
The H.O.R. Loop forces clarity.
It breaks the loop of mindless repetition.

Pro tip: Set a recurring Friday reminder. You’ll be shocked how quickly your results shift.

Remember:
High performers don’t just hustle harder. They adjust faster.

Start using the H.O.R. Loop. Let your habits serve your goals, not sabotage them.
