Most of us want to improve our lives. But for that to happen, we need to adopt certain positive habits.
Fundamentally speaking, habits play a key role in our day to day lives.
But not all habits are created equal. Some can have a much bigger impact than others.
This is why it's important that we learn to identify these habits and develop them.
Charles Duhigg, author of the book "The Power of Habit," calls them "keystone habits."
So what is a keystone habit?

Funny enough, my keystone habit turned out to be playing pool. At first it seemed like a passtime at best, and a complete waste of effort at worst. But then I started playing in tournaments and competing. Then I realized how poor I am at it so I set aside an hour a day to practice. This increased my discipline greatly. My results improved, spurring me on. Then I noticed I play much better when I'm well rested. So I started sleeping better. My results improved further, spurring me on. I made a schedule of "test" sessions once a month so I can track my progress. I soon noticed that, despite my technical progress, I fold under pressure in tournament games. So I read a few psychology books, educated myself and started meditating. My results improved further. The meditation sessions improved other areas of my life. I lose my temper less often than I used to, relaxing my family life. My steadier schedule allowed me to start working out every morning. My strength and health both improved. So did my gameplay. It's been 2 and a half years and I'm very close to breaking into the top tier of players in my country. Most of them have been playing for 10+ years. Keep your focus, keep practising, keep progressing and you can reach the top faster than you expect!
Wow.. your story perse really inspiring.. Thank you
That's amazing and inspiring
motivationnal stuff here
It's too good to be true 😂
> I lose my temper less often than I used to, relaxing my family life Just briefly mentioning you are an abusive husband and/or dad, nothing special
Sleeping is so underrated. When we need some extra hours to binge watch our favourite series, we choose to sacrifice some sleep and enjoy. But in a long run it damages us so much :-(
Maybe because some of us think Sleep is wasting time Or Sleep is just Sleep nothing special
Or because Sleep doesn't need much effort and willpower
@@andimusdamulya6794 intially it doesn't but once your brain rhythm is disturbed it's really hard to fall asleep
@@Xarius01 yeah thats true But actually its happen in my culture I mean my society said" more sleep is more lazy" Or " Succes people just have 2 hours sleep" And Nobody talk about How important sleep They talk about how Important Hard Work I know its Wrong now But I Raised and Growth in this wrong mindset and Maybe 3 years ago I belief more Less Sleep I am More Productive I am I'm not trying to being victim by society I know its my stupid decision 3 years ago And right now I'm still work for better sleep Ps: sorry for this bad english
@@andimusdamulya6794 i don't know about scientific evidences but at least 5-6 hours sleep helps me alot. Also, having a little nap in the afternoon, goes long ways. So if you can have a 30-40 mins sleep in the afternoon, it will help a lot
This is so good 😊. I’m 57 and still learning, improving and changing - I never want to stop. Thank you 🙏
Nope just give up
May Allah rewards you with the best health and motivation ever.

Forming keystone habits is TIGHT!
So you have a new keystone habit for me?
I actually started planning my days out before I sleep as of last week. It’s actually been very helpful.
can you please post a realistic example if possible.
Same,im more productive 3 times,and most importent im loving it !
That’s awesome. I hope you’ve created the life you wanted to.
*Habits create a characters* We first make our habits and then habits make us
I could not agree more with u Ossein

You again. Hi !
O'SSÉIN - Master Your Mind With Me I love that!
I’m seeing you everywhere lol,Good job maye
I 100% agree with the health trinity and that sleep being the most important! I find that, if I don't sleep enough, I don't even have the energy to cook for myself, let alone exercise.
Practicing the piano - Super easy Going to the gym - Barely an inconvenience Someone has been watching Screen Rant's Pitch Meetings.
¤ some of my time management recommendations: 1) when you finish a job, start the next job (because today's social media and internet so distractors.) 2) take note of the lesson you learned so you don't make a mistake again. 3) develop methods against today's distractors (only watch your watch later folder videos) I became a Muslim and started praying 1 year ago. Then I quit my bad habits. I enrolled lot of courses. I learned lot of things, languages ,and effective time management(because 5 times praying divides the day pieces). Whatever your story is, use your time well because we live only once friends. stay with love ✌

Meditation, exercise, healthy diet... in many cases (diseases) exposure factors outweigh genetics. Check following TED talk: kzhead.info/sun/g9OkZsOoq6h8YKM/bejne.html, at 15min11sec to see it visually!
story of mike is exactly the same as my story. at first i started running because i thought sitting all day is not good. but when i saw that my time is improving i was greatly motivated. to further improve i lost a lot of weight, improved diet, had better time management. in the end it has so many unforseen benefits.
Waking up early and praying is my keystone habbit and it just changes me sooooooooooo much
4:38: Oh, things that are "super-easy, barely an inconvenience" are TIGHT!
ballybunion9 Wo, wo, wo, just watched the commentaries to see if someone noticed that! 😂💚 Apparently find it was supper easy, barely an inconvenience!
Me too! 😅
ballybunion9 wow, wow, wow
@@nw9801 Yeah, yeah, yeah!
My life is at the moment the opposite: barely any convenience. :( It's getting better, though.
I am learning the importance of getting enough sleep recently and making it a priority.
Reading is one of the top keystone habits you can develop.
This is honestly probably the best channel on KZhead, this is so good for making yourself better! Thank you so much for all the wisdom, so happy that you made this channel
I agree. I try to watch atleast one video a day, even if I am just rewatching one I have already seen before. It has helped me so much!
My keystone habit is art. I paint or occasionally draw something every single day. Even if it’s a single flower or a couple of leaves, it’s something. Since then, I’ve started working on my finances, eating more vegetables and writing. Didn’t expect it but here I am
My keystone habit is going for a jog in the morning. I found that if I haven’t got enough sleep that I choose not to run, so I started to go to bed earlier. I noticed that I began being on schedule for my daily routine instead of procrastinating because getting up going outside for 30 minutes then coming inside to shower and change makes me have to keep moving on a solid morning schedule. Exercising every morning made me look into my eating habits. I can’t run on junk food. So I started to review my meals and the times that I eat. I’m calmer and more clear headed on the days that I run. It really does work.
Exercise, walking and mediating are my top 3 habits after a long day of programming and making videos. Nice advice.
Programming and work is a habit. Definitely keystone if you need it for money, food and to survive. To support your lifestyle. Don't you think

The Universe is not in a hurry. You are. It’s why you’re tired, it’s why you’re anxious, stressed, and disappointed. Trust that what was meant to be yours, will be yours Unrush yourself. Hope our channel helps you on your journey!!
That is a Wonderful thought and Principle!!!! I seem to be full of Exclimations
The universe is not in a hurry. It's society that pushes you to hurry. They expect you to succeed right away.
mr anderson was he talking to you? Exactly
I started exercising for last 4 months due to which I'm in a much better shape than before. I have learnt to track calories and macro(protein only),sleep early,be disciplined,be focused,increased willpower, dedication all of this is transforming me into a new person. I'll try to update
You are so right about sleep. I notice that whenever I sleep late, it ends up consuming my entire morning plus when I wake up, I have no energy and motivation to do things. Sleeping late = oversleeping = lack of energy and motivation to do things and other habits = laziness = zero success. Sleep is underrated.
3 keystone habits: 1. Meditation (no brainer) 2. 15mins learning new IT skills. Keeps me effecient and work 3. Lunchtime walks: stress relief and better eyesight
Somehow only just discovered this channel but I’ve watched 5 videos and already without even instantly applying any of them I can see exactly how they’re going to help and that this is exactly what I needed to be doing the whole time. Great informational videos and really eye opening into making difficult seeming tasks seem so much simpler. Keep it up 🙌🏼
Health Trinity: Exercise, Diet and Sleep. My favorite, is sleep. In early 2018, (at age 75), decided to get into shape by a daily exercise program involving 10 muscle groups. During all my prior years, I focused mostly on self-education in several different areas to offset the garbage taught in public schools. It was not all reading as I built my home, and learned about carpentry, plumbing, and house wiring. In addition, I got into what I always wanted to do--restore old cars, including engine rebuilding. Age 75 is too old? NONSENSE ! All is in the mind. In the past 18 months, I've increased some more muscle mass, and lost 30 lbs. Along with exercise, I've changed my diet. No meat, no dairy products (except butter), little breads, more protein foods (lentils, YUK), Sunbelt Breakfast bars, oatmeal for breakfast, whey, grapes. I grow tomatoes, peas and squash. (I just baked a German chocolate cakes and a squash w/ butter and brown sugar). I gotta have some treats for working out. If you prefer to slack off: “Keep the faculty of effort alive in you by a little gratuitous exercise every day. Do every day or two, something for no other reason than that you would rather not do it. Everybody should do at least two things each day that he hates to do, just for practice.” --"The Principles of Psychology", Chap IV Habit, William James, page 82 , in “Britannica Great Books”
I have a habit of giving myself a pep talk before work. I name the same three things I am grateful for every day...my Health, Wealth, and Opportunity...and I elaborate how each ties to the other, and how all work in conjunction with one another. As I drive to work delivering pizza, I say aloud, "I will adopt and maintain a positive upbeat attitude, Let's go make some Money...WooHoo! Yes, I actually literally do all that! And I make the Tips! :D
I feel like reading is my keystone habit that has cascaded and influenced so many other habits in my life. Thank you for sharing.
For me, a good dream is a key habit! When I stopped sleeping enough time, I noticed that I had lost all my motivation, my daily cycles went wrong, my willpower is low, I don’t want to read books, do exercises, eat healthy food. And I stopped to sleep enough awarenessly, to check how does this affect me. When I started to sleep normally again, I made sure that I was right - a healthy sleep is the strongest habit that I have to keep!)
I think my keystone habit is watching self improvement videos on youtube, since then I start to adapt more and more positive habits such as journaling, meditating, saving, etc
HAHA that's so me :D
MEEE right now.
I feel this.
"This is Mike" hahah my name is Mike, this is perfect! xD
Hahaha
P0o
Cool😑
Me too
Lmao. This is dope
For me I’m most productive when I wake up at 4:30 ish, (or whenever the sun comes up) have water, stretch and go for a 30 minute run (or a youtube ab video etc), when I come home I have my breakfast and get straight into a cold shower (yes, straight into cold). After my shower I get changed and go and read for a while (anywhere up to 1 hour) and then I go do work, I haven’t learnt to meditate, write or use affirmations or gratitude but these are things I’d like to try in the future
Very interesting, My keystone habit is also excersise, it makes me worry about my diet and sleeping (so I can get better results). That makes me feel more energic and wake up earlier motivated to do stuff. Excersise-diet-sleep is the Best triad
My keystone habit is meditation, followed by reading, positive affirmations, vegan and currently preparing for my solo dance debut.
best of luck for your debut!!
Fatima • thank u so much!!!
Vegan is going to kill your health over the years.
I've suffered from insomnia my entire adult life and it has derailed me so much. Sleep is so vitally important.
Nice
I had some things going on at the beginning of 2020, and I was looking out to change my life. This actually was one of the things that got me into having more discipline in my life. I lost 10 kg's, I wake up earlier, I get more things done during the day, and I don't feel that much stress anymore. Thanks for uploading this, you made at least one person happier in this world :)
Started using your app suggestion SLEEP CYCLE combined with your great advise. Amazing such a difference in a short time. Now I've started EXCERCISE and changed most eating habits. I wouldn't have believed it but I actually have more energy...and not that fake caffeine energy. Thank you sooooo much!
4:38 I LOVE THE SCREENRANT REFERENCE!
WOW more than 150,000 new subscribers in last 2 months. That's amazing. Congratulation. You definitely deserve it! 🎉
I woke up 30 minutes ago tired and sad, and grabbed my phone to watch KZhead as I’ve done pretty much every day this year. I’ve been sleeping poorly ever since coronavirus started affecting us, and I moved back in with my parents. I’d go to sleep each night at 2 for months, and I’ve only scaled it back to 12 recently. I’ll go to sleep having been watching videos on my computer for hours. I’ve been neglecting my studies, I’ve fallen into a depression, I’ve stopped enjoying my hobbies, but this shit ends here. I’m going to make a change to my sleeping pattern starting tonight and try to stick it out for just a month. Wish me luck!
Good luck to you!
Resume for this video You may want to be a perfect person immediately so you want to make a lot of good habits at the same time. But if you do that you will fail again and again (at least in my experience). Everything needs time so the best way you should practise one habit and that habit will trigger another habit. And some habit called keystone habit, do you start with those it will make huge impact to your life. Keystone habit : - Do exercise - Sleep well - Have a good diet - Journaling - Meditation Just need to start with one at least 30 days and another habit will come in a natural way. Thanks for reading. I'm just trying to improve my English writing :)
I started with sleep, exercise and meditation. I really made sure that i got those habits stick to my daily routine. Then i got addicted to building new ones. Now i also do nutrition, journaling, reading, and affirmations. I'm not the best person to give advice but i highly recommend those 3 habits to anyone as they compliment each other. Meditation helps with sleep and muscle recovery from exercise. Exercise helps with sleep and enhances meditation. And sleep aids muscle growth and ease of meditation.
I'm new around here and this was my favorite video on this channel thus far. I actually downloaded a habit tracker app yesterday and can see myself being more motivated / productive, but I didn't realize so many of these tasks were in the "health trinity." Definitely confirmation that I'm on the right track. :)
I'm so glad this channel is back!
Thank you for sharing! I feel like sometimes we forget how to take care of ourselves. Seeing videos like this helps to refocus and remember the important things. I appreciate your time. The video is easily digested. The graphics add context without being distracting. This channel does such fantastic work. Please keep it up!
Thank you! I will start from meditation
I just love this channel. After each video I know that each day watching one of the videos makes that day BETTER THAN YESTERDAY.
I found out you need a keystone mindset first. Stop negativity, start positivity!
Also a habit can help building that up. Its all connected. So as a habit to improve your view on the world, you can meditate. It changed my mindset very much from anxious to "why worry about so many things i cant change?"
Don't be so negative on negativity....
Love your voice-so comforting.
you: "super easy, barely an inconvenience." me: i understood that reference!
pray explain
@@Vinckw check out Screen Rant's "Pitch Meeting" videos, there are hundreds of them, and "super easy, barely an inconvenience" is a line in each one.
THIIIIIIIIIIS
yup right there with ya
Omg so it really was a reference! I was like "this couldn't have been a coincidence, right?" xD
"Sleeping is one of the most important keystone habits". Me, watching this at 3am, "Ah crap".
I thank you for all of your work in producing these informative & useful videos!🙏🏾🕊️🥰
Thanks for sharing some actual keystone habits. I had heard of them before but could not find examples. I appreciate that you give us all the information for free instead of posting teasers for something we will need to pay for. Thanks that we can trust you to give us the complete picture.
You're changing my life. My daily mantra is Better Than Yesterday. I take every lesson to heart. I became clean and sober before discovering you. Since my entire life has changed. I'm 50 and in a few short weeks my life is better than ever. I'm homeless and recently lost EVERYTHING I own. I'm on a fast track to changing those things thanks in a large part to you. All of this said I've never been happier. Thank you for giving me life. Better Than Yesterday I am reborn.
Currently on a trip overseas that’s included waking up before 6 every day to go scuba diving/surfing, it’s becoming a habit so my current goal is to keep this habit going when I return to reality, exercise is next on the list
My keystone habit was tracking my daily tasks no matter how mundane it was, this was followed by budgeting finances, then the gym, then reading more and less video games...I wonder what will come next?
I'm actually doing this now as well
Daniel m I wish you all the best!
Journaling is the thing I never succeded in. Keep droping that
Better Than Yesterday --- So much more intelligent than Better than Others!
Thanks! I started to meditate 9 months ago using an app on my phone. I also limits the amount of blue light sources after 18.00 PM. My life is way better now.
What app brother?
I enjoy your presentation of all the great information. I love the illustrations.
Very nice. I really learned a lot in this in addition to the e book I previously read about habits.
I really appreciate your efforts at improving people life thank you keep it up looking forward
Can you do a video on tracking. I track everything but it takes me hours! It's so annoying! And when ever I hate doing something I find myself doing less and less of it.
My Keystone Habit... watch your video daily so it plays in my subconscious so I create other habits. Thank you. Much needed after struggling with emotional pain.
I absolutely agree sleep is the King habit. However, I have seen that so many people have terrible sleep quality, not due to necessarily binging on alcohol or staying up too late or blue screens, but because they are in pain. Being in pain causes them to choose poor mattresses with excess memory foam, which will hurt their sleep quality due to them sweating and overheating at night. Therefore in order to establish the keystone habit of sleep, they must be healed from their pain, which is going to come primarily through exercise, and secondarily through diet. Therefore there needs to be baby steps in all three health habits, as they complement one another and sometimes are a stopping point for another.
I am 60 still interested in learning and improving myself. Thank you for the efforts you put in.
I feel, your videos are what I need to sort out my life. They not only give knowledge, but wisdom. Thank you very for the thoughtful content and all the effort behind it. 🙏
can you please make a video how to create a study habit 😢 and be consistent and stick to your plan 😞
Learning a new language is a great keystone habit. Makes you more sociable as well as thinking skills
Thank you. I appreciate your time :)
Man, I'm in self-improving for many many years, but your videos are one of bests! Thank you, really!
Ryan George (Pitch Meeting) reference at 4:42 is gold; "Super easy, barely an inconvenience!"
When I heard him say "super easy" my mind automatically finished the sentence with "barely an inconvenience", and then he actually said it😭😭 Love this
Can't not notice that! 😁
"Super easy, barely an inconvenience!" Nice Easter Egg!
Me watching this at 2am be like: Ok, off to a good start
Thanks a lot more ... Mini habits video was amazing ...
I really love your channel bro,your videos always provide value and don't waste my time. I did this back in 2017 and didn't even knew I was doing it,started working out and everything changed for me,can't wait to see myself in the next 2-3 years :)
Thank you very much for bringing such awesome content
Keystone habit-turn OFF T.V! (smile). Getting more sleep IS key. Guess "thumbsdown" people are simply not ready to give up those "not so good" habits! Thanku. Love your voice, video's and art.
Thank you so much for all this important information, you've helped me improve many aspects of my life. Keep up the great videos!!

Everything sounds reasonable. Ive tried building habits on my own and i keep failing, im going to watch your video on mini habits. Thank you for your content, i hope it works.
Really enjoyed this video and thought it was helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the great video. This is what the internet is supposed to be for. Apart from what you mentioned, nofap is a keystone habit that has helped me greatly.
The best channel for self improvement 💕
I watch a few self improvement channels but yours is just so digestible and relatable. Thanks bro!
I’m so glad this got recommended to me, thank you!!
One of the habits I had was waking up at 5 to do my own stuff. I'm just so sad that I'm unable to keep it up while pregnant 😰 I find it socially hard sometimes to change these habits. People are so unable to not compare themselves when you do something that everything they do is put you down.
Keystone habit: being conscious most of my time This has led to me exercising, as well as an obsession with self improvement
As a religious person, I like to pray 5 times a day. Does this count as meditation? Another thing is after years of praying, a lot of people tend to thinking about what we are going to do the rest of the day and thinking about problems we have in our life. Does this still count as meditation?
Well when ur meditating some toxic thoughts.........Hmmmmmmmmm
no, it doesnt. It increases ignorance and hate towards non believers.
@@robinsharma8095 loooool no it doesn't what are you on about 🤣🤣
Excellent video! Thanks!
Keystone habits are “small changes or habits that people introduce into their routines that unintentionally carry over into other aspects of their lives.”
i love all videos of this channel! they are soooo important
This is very positive habits and a helpful video thanks for this, always God Bless . I'll make my self Better than yesterday now. Thank you again. 😇😇
Thank you so much for this valuable information
One word . . . . . . Amazing 😍
Thank you for this informative, inspiring lesson!
My keystone habit is actually more of an idea or maybe a mental trick to help with motivation. It is the habit of minimizing my other habits/goals with the five minute trick. Just devote 5 minutes to any task. I have various interests and hobbies, but i wasn't sticking to any one particular thing regularly. So I decided to devote five minutes to each task (playing piano, drums, painting, yoga, etc.) It really boosted my motivation and interest across all categories. It even makes it much easier to do simple chores like tidying up. It becomes a lot less of a barrier if you tell yourself, "well, i might as well do it now, because it will only take five minutes" Viola! It helps with time management, embracing the "now", and the value of my time and efforts. I just started this trick so I am protecting this mental trick at all costs!!!
I love charles duhigg
Thank you for this video. I really like the idea of keystone habits and agree with your lesson. An addition that I'd like to hear about perhaps on another video is not only physical keystone habits, bit keystone patterns of thought or emotion. I have a feeling that this is one step deeper into the idea of keystone habits. What makes us exercise, commit to better sleep and eat healthy?? I have a feeling they resonate at a level deepest to us related to those associated with self esteem, self-consciousness and identity. I feel having healthier habits of the mind will help lead us to the healthier keystone habits.
Thank you so much.
