Keystone Habits of a Healthy Lifestyle

Exercise Regularly
1. The definition of "regular" will vary by the person. The key is to exercise at least every week with a focus on multiple times per week.
2. My personal goal is to exercise 6 times per week every week. This is as close to "daily" as I consider reasonable.
3. The more often you exercise, the greater the results you'll gain from turning exercise into a keystone habit.
Cook most of your meals at home from scratch
1. Inspired by the books of Michael Pollan outlining how and why of eating healthy to promote a healthy lifestyle.
  1. "In Defense of Food" by Michael Pollan*
  2. "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan*

This podcast was inspired by the book "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg. You can support the podcast by purchasing the book through one of my affiliate links:

Keystone Habits of Investing

With investing there are both habits that you should consider adopting and habits that you should avoid.

Positive Keystone Habits of Investing you should adopt

Read one 10k every week.
Always write out an investment thesis BEFORE purchasing shares of stock in any company.
1. [Patron Only Benefit] - Read the Buy Thesis that I have written for the stocks that I buy.

Negative Keystone Habits of Investing you should avoid

Checking stock prices every day
1. Once a week is the most frequently you need to check your stock prices.
2. Ideally, target once a month.
3. Use price alerts for stocks you're interested in buying. That way you will be alerted if they hit your buy price. Otherwise, don't spend any time worrying about stock prices.
