Do just ONE hard thing today. Not every single habit on your tracker or with any hint of perfection. Not everything on the to-do list. Just one thing that can move you forward right now.

Just because you don’t see the small changes doesn’t mean they aren’t happening. Decisions that used to take a force of sheer will, now happen on autopilot. The work has been paying off all along. You just didn’t see it happening until it became unmistakable.

You may not realize it, but you've probably heard some variation of this "rule" ...and it’s probably also happening in your life without you even being totally aware of it. Here it is: The Pareto Principle (sometimes also called the 80/20 Rule)—and it basically states that 80% of your results come from just 20% of your efforts.

When it comes to building and sustaining habits and reaching goals, sometimes it helps to do LESS.

Real progress isn’t about perfection. It IS about consistency, even when the circumstances aren’t ideal.
