O’Neill believed that some habits have the power to start a chain reaction, changing other habits as they move through an organization. Some habits, in other words, matter more than others in remaking businesses and lives. These are “keystone habits,” and they can influence how people work, eat, play, live, spend, and communicate. Keystone habits start a process that, over time, transforms everything.
The phrase ‘keystone habit’ draws from a concept in biology known as a ‘keystone species’ which, similarly, is “a species on which other species in an ecosystem largely depend, such that if it were removed the ecosystem would change drastically.”
