Awakening Note
Keystone habit: the one that pulls the others
A keystone habit is a single habit that sets off a chain of other good behaviors. Building one strong anchor habit often makes a cluster of related habits easier.
A reliable daily planning or review habit is a common keystone — it organizes everything downstream. The key is to make that anchor habit easy and rewarding so it survives.
Awakening Note can anchor a daily keystone habit and reward you for keeping it, so the downstream habits follow more easily.
