Micro-steps for Behavior Change
- Break down large goals like losing weight or changing habits into smaller, manageable micro-steps.
- These micro-steps should be "too small to fail," making them easier to implement and stick with.
Rituals for Better Sleep
- Designate a time each day to end work and create a ritual around it, like turning off and charging your phone outside your bedroom.
- Start small; if turning off your phone feels too difficult, begin by putting it on airplane mode or charging it further away.

- Joy serves as a personal barometer for overall well-being.
- If you struggle to find joy in your activities, it signals a need for course correction in your life.
