Persistence is Doing One Small Thing Everyday

It takes the average person 21-days to make something a part of their routine.  It’s within this period that most people fail to execute on their goals. This is because we start our goals with so much ambition that we try to tackle everything all at once, which has a tendency to overwhelm us and shock our existing routine to the point that we quit.  Sometimes the best method is to just takes things one small step at a time.

Start each day with one action item to advance on your goal. At first, start with very small tasks and slowly work your way up. For example, if you want to begin a 30-minute exercise routine but can’t get beyond the 21-day target, try working out for only 5 minutes a day during the first week, 10 minutes the second week, 20 minutes the third week and 30 minutes thereafter. This seems incredibly logical but all too often we try to do things “cold turkey” which can shock our routine making it all too easy to quit.
