Step 4

Making Small Adjustments Early

Students tend to imagine change as huge, dramatic resets. 


In reality, most improvement looks smaller and less dramatic than people expect. 


A slightly better routine. 


A slightly earlier start. 


One less distraction repeated consistently. 


That's how momentum begins.

Core Idea

Small changes become important when they happen consistently.
