I am always looking for new ways to improve myself and develop my skillset.
I frequently find more than one thing at a time that I want to implement or improve.
And sadly, I have the terrible habit of trying to do too much.
While I do have a system for implementing new habits, which I cover in this linked post, it is still definitely possible for me to bite off more than I can chew. This can lead to frustration, burnout, and ultimately giving up.
I am finding simplicity to be key.
Rather than trying to implement 10 new things in my life, I'm working hard to identify which 3-5 habits will serve as 'keystones' that provide a trickle-down effect in my life. This trickle-down effect translates into adopting additional beneficial habits without really thinking about it, improving my overall mindset, and things of that nature.
Right now my keystone habits are as follows:
Your keystone habits will probably look totally different from mine, but that's okay.
I'm finding that keeping as many things in my life as simple as possible, everything becomes just a little bit easier.
I am more consistent with my efforts at improving myself, I'm less frustrated, I'm more creative and I have a better outlook.
What keystone habits do you have that trigger additional good behaviors?
