Keystone Habits

Do you wish you were more disciplined, focused, and consistentabout your daily routines? If only you knew what sabotages your everyday efforts…

The answer almost always can be traced back to maladaptive habits. Procrastination, impatience, risk aversion, a lack of priorities and direction, and, ultimately, unhappiness are the result of bad habits insidiously controlling your behavior.
Here is the good news! These habits are learned, thus they can be unlearned. But which habits should you adopt instead?
Trying to practice all the good habits we think we need in our life can feel overwhelming. We should diet, exercise, meditate, be better listeners, be more productive, more frugal, more accepting, more firm, more well-spoken, more laid-back… It’s simply impossible to learn all these at the same time!

Luckily, there is a simple solution to this problem! And I share it in this book.

Some habits are more powerful than others. Learning only a handful of them can unleash an avalanche-like change in your life. These habits are the keystone that other habits rely on.
• Become more disciplined and finish what you start by strengthening one key skill.
• Improve your personal and professional relationships, capitalizing on an asset you always had but probably never explored.
• Decrease your stress level and gain mental clarity with a simple 10-minute daily practice.
• Get a good grip over your finances using an easy yet effective technique.

Adopting keystone habits might be the only difference standing between what you want and what you have.

• Change your scarcity mindset into a growth mindset.
• Skyrocket your productivity by mastering a fundamental skill.
• Train your brain to become a lifelong learner.

Don’t forget—advice is only valuable as long as you implement it.

Most of our life is determined by our actions, yet our actions are often at the mercy of our habits. Therefore, improving our habits has one of the greatest life-changing impacts. Learn to think slowly and deliberately, take risks with more authority, enhance your focus, and make better personal, professional, financial, and existential decisions as a result.
