With all the habits we have, how do we choose which ones to focus on to improve the quality of our daily lives? According to Duhigg, the key is to focus on changing keystone habits, or those that can be leveraged upon to cause chain reactions in our lives. Keystone habits share three characteristics:
- Characteristic One: The Science of Small Wins
- Characteristic Two: Create New Platforms
- Characteristic Three: Establish a Culture Where Excellence Is Contagious
Each of the characteristics is illustrated in the LifeHacker article using Olympic World Champion Michael Phelps as an example, and showing how his keystone habits were the key to his success. In the world of continous improvement in the corporate world, exemplary companies such as Toyota work continously to reinforce specific Kata, or patterns of behavior that employees should exhibit.
So what Keystone Habits you will focus on to improve your life?
