#61: Smaller Steps

Sometimes the smallest changes in habits can lead to huge results. Sometimes trying to change too much all at once backfires. In this episode, we discuss just how life changing it can be to start with smaller steps. 

  • Little bursts of exercise can have a bigger impact than you might suspect.
  • Starting with just cleaning your sink can lead to an organized house.
  • Eating ice cream in a bowl instead of a carton can lead to losing 100 pounds. 

The important thing is just get on the ladder, and that's easier with lower rungs. A ladder with many easily accessed closely-spaced rungs can, after all, lead to the exact same place (and many times easier) as a ladder with widely-spaced, difficult rungs.
