Our time and energy are limited, no matter who you are. Sabina Nawaz writes that the key to any kind of achievement is through building small — even micro — habits. “Micro habits are small components of a larger habit. By breaking down an ambitious job into smaller, more achievable ones that you build over long periods of time, micro habits help you complete big goals.” Making any kind of change to our routines is hard. Which makes it more important is to start early, and keep at it everyday. For example, if you’re a leader hoping to connect with your team, create a consistent schedule to check in with a different member of your team each day of the week. Or if you want to be more organized, before you put work away for the day, jot down a list of tasks you have to complete the next day. Start small, but start today. Harvard Business Review.
