So, Which Habit Should I Focus On?

Hey amorteurs,

This morning on my walk, I was stuck on a problem.

Last night, I realized I needed to focus on one habit at a time. This came out of yet another crash where my body collapsed from unsustainable systems.

Does this sound familiar?

You feel empowered to change anything in your life. That's great, but there's a problem.

In my case, it led me to change everything at once. That's not a sustainable way to change.

Change is slow. If I had to buckle down on a single habit for 6 months, which habit would be the 80/20, transformative behavior that would cascade onto everything else?

That's when I returned to the concept of keystone habits.

Keystone habits are like snowballs: they are simple, foundational behaviors that get the ball rolling and race you through the acceleration ramp of positive change.

Here are some time-tested keystone habits I'm playing with:

• Finances: managing a simple budget daily (50/30/20 plan)

• Twitter: scheduling tweets/threads every day.

• School: focusing on dedicated time to complete homework

• Health: maintaining a regular exercise practice

• Family: committing to family dinners

Focus on the highest leverage, highest impact habit first.

Change in surrounding areas follows.

Question of the day: What is the most impactful habit you do every day that, if done, makes the rest of the day go smoothly?

See you soon, internauts.
