Community Habits

Is your daily schedule helping you?

I've got asked about some examples of Community Habits in the context of my post about Keystone habits.

It's best to read it first if you're unfamiliar with the idea.

Done? Ok, Let's go into it.

The idea of keystone habits is to do something small daily to support the given part of your life.
