The Power of Less: Starting Small

Like the stripes. Not my total favorite, but getting there.
Leo Babauta
Start new habits in small increments. Why?
Narrows your focus
It keeps your energy and enthusiasm going for longer
It's easier to handle
You ensure success
Gradual change is longer-lasting

Some suggestions
Waking early: start by waking fifteen inutes earlier instead of an hour or two
Productivity: start by trying to focus on the task at hand for five to ten minutes at a time
A major project: Start with just one small task from the the project, instead of trying to tackle everything at one, then go to the next small task and so on
Decluttering: STart with just one drawer instead of trying to declutter your entire office or home.
