Christoph Kofler ⛰️

FutureHabits is my counter-design to the usual self-optimization:

🔹 No “more discipline” slogans

🔹 No 10-step morning routine for people with 2 hours of free time

I work with people who carry a lot of responsibility and that’s exactly why they fail at habits:
because stress eats behavior.

I combine behavioral science principles (how behavior is formed and why it breaks), clear structure, and pragmatic execution:

🔹 small interventions you can actually stick to in real life
🔹 focus on everyday problems: overwhelm, sleep, digital stress, distractibility, and the feeling of constantly falling behind
🔹 nature as your supporter

Right now I’m turning FutureHabits into a book, building on my online course, community, and coaching experience.

🔗 Book: https://book.futurehabits.guide
🔗 Community & Online Course: https://community.futurehabits.guide

Topics
🔹 Habits & intentional behavior change
🔹 Stress & performance (without hustle)
🔹 Focus & energy management
🔹 Resilience
🔹 Self-leadership
🔹 Sustainable energy
🔹 Closeness to nature

Audience
🔹 Professionals
🔹 Leaders / executives
🔹 Tech leads
🔹 People in high-pressure roles

Not for: people who only want inspiration but don’t want to change anything
