When striving for self-improvement, a common mistake is to shoot too high. We make promises to be healthier ([link removed]) , more mindful ([link removed]) , more patient ([link removed]) . But such lofty goals often go unmet. They’re just too vague, or too hard to track. Even when a goal is more concrete (“I want to run a half marathon”; “I want to yell less”) it’s difficult to stay the course, especially when you have kids, because time is tight, and progress requires consistency.

A different approach? Start smaller — much smaller — and instead strive to develop micro habits. Micro habits are daily actions that are easy to implement into your established routine and only require a few minutes of your time (if that). While they may sound insignificant, they’re much more achievable than traditional goals. And, because stacking up small victories creates a snowball effect that encourages you to undertake more, and more ambitious, changes, micro habits may be more likely to lead to lasting change. Look at you go.
