The smallest version

Most habits fail because the first version was designed for a good week.

How to do it

  1. Name the habit you keep restarting.

  2. Shrink it to something you could do on your worst day — two minutes, one page, one street.

  3. Attach it to something you already do daily.

  4. Do the small version today, and resist doing more.

Keep it small until it is boring. Boring is what lasts.
