Creating habits on top of your existing habits can sound overwhelming, but in today's episode, Kimberly shares practical tips on how to increase productivity with PIES Stacking.  Think about your good daily habits that already exist and consider something that you can add to it. For example, if you are a coffee drinker and it's part of your morning routine, rather than doom scrolling, read or journal while you enjoy your cup of caffeine. Say affirmations to yourself while you brush your teeth to help set the tone and mood for the day.
