The Start Small Method

🌟 Positive Impact

Big goals often stall. Tiny steps create motion, confidence, and compounding wins.

• Easier to start and repeat
• Less resistance and procrastination
• Momentum that builds naturally

📊 Key Facts

What Science Says

• Micro‑habits are more likely to stick than large, abrupt changes.
• Success experiences build self‑efficacy and motivation.
• Consistency beats intensity for long‑term change.

🔬 Why it Works

Our brains prefer small, certain wins. Shrinking the action makes starting trivial; repetition wires the habit.

🛠 How to Apply

1. 5‑Minute Rule: Do just five minutes of the new behavior.
2. One Change Only: Adopt one tweak for a week, then add another.
3. Make it visible: Place cues in your environment — book on the pillow, guitar on stand.
4. Track it: Mark a simple X on a calendar.

📋 Methodology

• Start below your ability threshold
• Lock a time and place
• Scale only when it feels easy
