By mastering the art of micro habits and productivity systems.
Our mission is simple.

Meet the Founders
-
Founder
Martin is an algorithmic trader with a background in STEM and Finance. He has a passion for technology, mental and financial models, and process design. Martin believes that repeated success requires well-structured processes and systems combined with common sense. His approach mixes automation with flexible variations to ensure efficient and effective outcomes.

Founder
Zainab is a cancer researcher and PhD holder. Her relentless drive and ambition have been key in shaping MicroHabitology. She understands the complexities of balancing research, work, and personal life, and her experiences have contributed significantly to the development of our frameworks.
Our Journey
-
MicroHabitology was born out of necessity. Both of us faced immense challenges during our studies and early careers, struggling with task prioritisation, generating results, and avoiding burnout. We needed a framework to manage our workloads, maintain focus, and stay productive without feeling overwhelmed.
-
In 2020, we found ourselves scattered, overwhelmed by endless tasks, and unsure where to start. Martin, finishing his dissertation in finance while building an algorithmic trading fund, was juggling multiple tasks without a clear structure. Zainab, in the final year of her PhD, was also balancing a job and personal challenges. We realised that traditional productivity tools and frameworks didn’t fit our unique needs.
-
Through trial and error, extensive reading, and implementing various techniques, we discovered what worked for us. We created the Project Cyborg 2.1 Protocol, which evolved into MicroHabitology. This framework has undergone over 250 iterations to ensure a seamless and effective user experience.
Our Motivation
We were driven by a shared desire to overcome our productivity challenges and help others do the same. Our passion for mental and productivity frameworks led us to develop MicroHabitology. We wanted to provide a solution that addresses the unique needs of each individual, helping them build mental scaffolding and achieve their goals without burning out.

MicroHabitology is designed for professionals experiencing career growth and feeling overwhelmed by their responsibilities. Our framework helps them navigate life, manage their progress, and achieve their goals efficiently.

We also cater to the younger generation, providing them with the mental models and productivity tools needed to handle the barrage of information and stimuli they face daily.
