Small steps method

The small steps method involves dividing the change into small actions that can be realistically implemented despite resistance.

Definition

Small steps reduce the entry threshold, support a sense of effectiveness and help build regularity. They are not a surrender of ambition, but a way to avoid the paralysis caused by too big a goal. Their power increases through repetition and context.

Practice and life

Common misunderstanding

It is a mistake to consider a small step too small to matter. The second mistake is increasing difficulty before stability occurs.
