Address your most pressing needs or goals

When prioritizing which habits to change first, I recommend focusing on keystone habits - those that create positive ripple effects across multiple areas of your life.

Start with habits that:

1. Have the highest impact-to-effort ratio - changes that give you significant benefits with manageable effort
2. Address your most pressing needs or goals
3. Build momentum and confidence through early wins

For example, improving sleep quality often leads to better energy, mood, and decision-making, making other habit changes easier. Similarly, regular exercise can improve cognition, mood, and physical health simultaneously.

Consider categorizing your habits into:

• Health foundations (sleep, nutrition, exercise)
• Mental wellbeing (stress management, mindfulness)
• Productivity systems (planning, focus techniques)
