74: Keystone Habits are a Gateway Drug

Keystone habits lead to the development of multiple good habits this is why I'm calling them the gateway drug for life-changing habits. They start a chain effect in your life that produces a number of positive outcomes. For example, say that your keystone habit is to sleep 8 hours every night. Your initial goal is to get more sleep.  But this habit can also lead to positive, unintended outcomes like: •Become more productive •Eat more healthy •Having more time to exercise At first you wanted more sleep, but this keystone habit generated a number of additional habits. The development of keystone habits can become a critical part of your self-mastery journey.
