The Problem
Not knowing where to start itself isn’t something you do wrong. It’s a result of something else - starting big.
Let me give you an example:
Like everyone else, I’ve also been trying to change my habits for years, and have often failed.
I tried to change my diet and start eating clean from day one, I wanted to be able to write every day, to go to the gym 5 times a week, learn a foreign language in a short time, and so on.
And none of these attempts were successful.
Soon I realized where my mistake was – I always tried to make big changes. And every time I had to put too much effort and use all my willpower.
So a few days after I thought I’d implemented the new behavior, or a week or two in the best case, I was back to my usual daily round.
And, of course, felt even more discouraged and disappointed in myself after that.
I started thinking about it, analyzing my mistakes and following other people who have succeeded in changing their habits.
It all came down to one thing – starting small – and it was more important than I could imagine.
That’s also one of the main reasons New Year’s resolutions fail. And it applies to daily things too, like getting that task done, for example.
Fortunately, this exact situation is much easier to solve than the procrastination habits we talked about so far in the book.
