Micro Habits: The Power of Starting Incredibly Small

Start so small failure is impossible.

The smaller the habit, the easier to start. Micro habits remove all resistance by making the behavior almost trivial.

The Power of Tiny

One pushup, one sentence, one minute. These seem pointless—but they're not about the action. They're about becoming someone who acts. Small starts build identity.

Make it so small failure is impossible.

Micro Habit Rules

• Under 2 minutes: Should be almost effortless
• No exceptions: Build consistency first
• Same time/place: Reduce decision friction
• Expand later: After automatic, extend slightly

Start microscopic. Build from there.
