Choose a goal you have been stalling on — one that feels too large to start or too complex to sustain. Write it down in its current form. Now decompose it into the smallest daily action that would constitute genuine progress. The micro-commitment must pass three tests: (1) it takes less than.
Treating micro-commitments as the ceiling rather than the floor. You commit to writing 200 words and then stop at 200 words every day, even when the writing is flowing and you have energy for 1,000. The micro-commitment is the minimum viable action — the threshold below which you do not drop. It.
