Applying Atomic Habits to the Stair Master Challenge

Goal was to increase the number of staff taking the stairs. After reading Atomic Habits for the book club earlier this year we tried to make a challenge that would 1) make it easy 2) make it satisfying 3) make it obvious 4) make it attractive. We made a calendar, staff marked each day they did at least 1 flight of stairs, and competed for a prize between Primary Care and Specialties. We had great participation from both departments and increased the habit of taking the stairs among our staff.
