When people strive for self-improvement, a common mistake is to shoot too high.
We make promises to be healthier, more mindful, more patient. But such lofty
goals often go unmet. They’re just too vague, or too hard to track. (There’s a
reason why 80 percent of New Year’s Resolutions are cast aside by February.)
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, progress requires consistency, and it feels unnatural to
break tasks into very small chunks. A different approach? Start smaller — much
smaller — and instead strive to develop micro habits. Big change can come from
little adjustments.
