James Clear is the author of Atomic Habits, one of the most influential books on behavior change in recent years. His core message? Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you want to become.
And one of the most powerful triggers for those actions? Visual cues.
Clear breaks down habit formation into four steps: cue, craving, response, and reward. The very first step—the cue—is what initiates every behavior. And it’s often visual.
"You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems," he writes. "And your environment is the invisible hand that shapes behavior."
That means: what you see matters. It sets your system in motion.
Visual cues don’t just remind you of a habit. They reinforce identity. Seeing the word “PUSH BEYOND.” or “BE CONFIDENT.” again and again wires your brain to believe: this is who I am.
Why This Matters for Cent-sei
We created Cent-sei to serve as a reliable, personal cue system you can wear. It eliminates friction. It adds intention. And it silently casts vote after vote for who you’re becoming.
Because that’s what habit science demands: consistency and visibility.
-
No more waiting for motivation.
-
No more relying on memory.
-
Just one strong cue, always with you.
James Clear gave us the framework. We turned it into something you can carry.
