Description

Personal development blogger Stephen Guise offers a self-improvement program that promises to be “too small to fail.” A “mini habit” is a positive behavior that you perform in its smallest component until it becomes second nature. An exercise program becomes one push-up; a reading goal becomes one sentence. The willpower you need to succeed falls to zero. Guise guarantees that repetition and repeated success can turn any mini habit into a new lifelong pattern. His concept is beautiful in its simplicity. getAbstract recommends Guise’s advice to anyone who wants to make a positive change, even if you read just one sentence at a sitting.

Take-Aways Take one small step every day to initiate a lifelong positive habit. People form habits over time through repeated behaviors. A mini habit is the smallest possible iteration of a positive habit, like one push-up. A mini habit is “too small to fail” because it requires only a tiny bit of willpower, and you quickly accumulate a record of success. When your motivation for an activity is high, you don’t need much willpower. When your motivation is low, you need a lot of willpower, which most people don’t have. Decouple motivation from action; instead, rely on just a little willpower to form small habits. Mini habits work because they deplete little of your willpower reserve. On the mini-habit plan, you divide your goals into “stupid small” but effective actions. The mini-habit rules are: don’t cheat, be glad when you succeed, give yourself rewards, stay with your new routine, and drop back and go smaller if it gets hard. Also, enjoy the ease of your new small steps, recognize why they work, and don’t set bigger goals – just repeat your new mini habit a few extra times.
