Learning Corner: Small Habits, Big Learning: Creating Repeatable Moments in 2026

The end of the year always invites a bit of reflection. When we look back at how people learned across the Luma platform this past year, a pattern stood out: the teams who made the most progress didn’t rely on one big training push. Instead, they built tiny learning moments into the rhythm of everyday work.

That’s the heart of habit-building.

When learning is broken into small, repeatable actions, people don’t have to mentally “gear up” for it. It feels natural. It fits into the day. And over time, those small repetitions change not just what people know but how they show up on the job.

As you plan for 2026, here are a few simple ways to encourage learning habits that stick:

  • Pair content with a quick reflection. Anchor the lesson in real experience with a one-sentence prompt, like Where have you seen this lately?

  • Give learners a consistent place to share. A discussion board becomes a weekly check-in, not another task.

  • Keep the actions small. Think in minutes, not hours. Big goals fade, but tiny routines grow.

  • Model the habit yourself. Engagement rises naturally when managers comment, participate, or ask follow-up questions.

Learning doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your team is to make learning feel like a simple, everyday habit. Create learning experiences that your team can return to, just as you do with a morning routine.

Small steps. Steady rhythm. That’s how habits and strong safety cultures are built.
