Concept
Keystone Identity
An identity whose adoption naturally pulls many other behaviours into alignment, making broad change more efficient.
A keystone identity is chosen for leverage: rather than changing habits one at a time, you adopt a single identity that carries a whole cluster of behaviours with it.
The right keystone makes downstream habits feel obvious instead of effortful, because they're simply what that kind of person does.
This concept appears throughout Identity Over Discipline. Read the book →
