I’m learning that small wins are actually more important than big wins.
I’m the type of person who would come up with a big plan, a very exciting project to tackle, huge in scope. I would start with all sorts of excitement and churn out a bunch of work in a very short period of time.
But then I’d stop. I’d either be tired, or distracted, or overwhelmed, or all 3. I’ve written before about the importance of finishing, but today I have had to remind myself that starting small is super important.
If you start so small that it’s pathetically easy to start, then you will. Once you’ve started, if you make yourself finish less than what you’re fully capable of in a day then you’ll come back tomorrow. If you do that repeatedly then the small wins get big, and you don’t die.
