Mini Habits: Smaller Habits, Bigger Results

TOO SMALL TO FAIL. People so often think that they are the reason they can't achieve lasting change, but the problem isn't with them—it's with their strategy. You can achieve great things without the guilt, intimidation, and repeated failure associated with such strategies such as ‘‘getting motivated’’, resolutions, or even ‘‘just doing it”. You can achieve great things with mini habits. A mini habit is a very small positive behavior that you force yourself to do every day; a mini habit's ‘‘too small to fail’’ nature makes it weightless, deceptively powerful, and a superior habit-building strategy. The strategy is created with the understanding that to make changes last, you need to stop fighting against your brain. When you start playing by your brain's rules—as Mini Habits shows you howto do—lasting change isn't so hard.
