Pair big goals with small wins

Small wins criteria

Small wins criteria

  • They need little time: they have to be small and achievable in preferably under 10 minutes (more than that and you will start to lose motivation)
  • They need little effort: they have to be so effortless, that you'll feel bad for not achieving them. The less effort you need to complete your small win the fewer excuses you’ll allow yourself

  • Insert them into a routine: a simple way to ensure you’ll practice your new habit.
