Make the first step smaller

Choose a small version that is complete in its own right.

The idea

A smaller action can have its own stopping point. Opening a document or reading two pages can be the whole choice.

Why it helps

A clear endpoint makes the agreement with yourself easier to understand. It does not secretly commit you to a longer session.

Try this

  • Choose the ready Minimum version of an action.
  • Stop at that version when it fits today.

Keep it simple

Minimum is a complete option, not a trick to make you do more.
