tiny habits, big energy Here’s something I found interesting this week: researchers highlighted how the smallest regular behaviors—literally micro-movements—shape our productivity far more than bursts of motivation or adrenaline. As AI shifts what our workdays look like, the daily choices we repeat, not the big leaps, make the difference. We all love the idea of setting huge goals or adopting the latest productivity apps, but big changes often stall. It’s too easy to wait for that “ideal time” or hope motivation will find us. Maybe you’ve tried a new workflow inspired by an app demo or event, only to drop it after a few days when the buzz faded. The thing is, progress rarely comes from one grand gesture. Instead, it’s the tiny, consistent habits—those so easy they require almost no effort—that add up over weeks or months. Think: - a quick two-minute desk stretch before your morning coffee,
- jotting down one sentence of gratitude as you power on your laptop,
- reviewing your calendar for 60 seconds before lunch.
Each time you complete a micro-habit, you reinforce your identity as someone who shows up for themselves. Your brain registers, “I did what I said I would do.” Over time, that trust in your own consistency builds, and so does your momentum. |
