Most habits fail because we start too big. A tiny version builds the habit first; the size comes later.
Examples
- Read one page, not one chapter
- Put on your walking shoes, not walk five miles
- Floss one tooth
- Write one sentence in a journal
- Tidy for two minutes
Then grow it
Once the tiny habit happens without effort for a couple of weeks, make it a little bigger.
