Most people stack 10-15 habits hoping they'll each pull their weight. The research says that's backwards. Some habits cascade into fixing everything else. Some protect your system when life gets hard. And some feel productive but secretly drain you.

In this video, I break down the 3-Tier Habit System: Keystone Habits (the ones that fix everything), Insurance Habits (the ones that protect your system), and Trap Habits (the ones you need to cut). Based on research from Macquarie University, behavioral economics, and a meta-analysis of 36,000+ people.

This system changed how I build habits, and I think it will change yours too.
