Self Binding Strategies for Moderating Habits

Chronological self binding involves setting a specific time limit for abstaining from a habit, such as a 30-day period, after which individuals may choose to engage in the habit in moderation. This approach allows for structured moderation by restricting use to designated times or conditions, like using a substance only on weekends or after achieving certain goals like completing exams or securing a job. Categorical self binding, on the other hand, focuses on creating categories for habits, allowing individuals to define what they can or cannot do within those defined limits. Both strategies aid in controlling and moderating behaviors effectively.
