Break down habits into smaller steps from "summary" of Superhuman by Habit by Tynan

When you set out to build a new habit, it's tempting to try to make a giant leap from where you are now to where you want to be. After all, that's how we often see change portrayed in movies and books - as a sudden, dramatic transformation. But in reality, lasting change doesn't happen overnight. It happens gradually, step by step. Breaking down habits into smaller steps is crucial for several reasons. First, it makes the habit less daunting. When you think about making a big change all at once, it can feel overwhelming. But when you break it down into smaller, more manageable steps, it becomes much more achievable. It's like eating an elephant - you have to do it one bite at a time. Second, breaking down habits into smaller steps helps you build momentum. Each small step you take is a small win, and each small win builds your confidence and motivation to keep going. It's much easier to stay on track when you can see progress being made, even if it's just a little bit at a time. Third, breaking down habits into smaller steps helps you identify potential obstacles and plan for them. When you break a habit down into its individual components, you can see more clearly where things might go wrong. This allows you to come up with strategies to overcome those obstacles before they derail your progress. So, instead of trying to make a massive change all at once, focus on breaking down your desired habit into smaller, more manageable steps. Take it one step at a time, celebrate each small victory along the way, and be prepared to adjust your plan as needed. By taking a gradual, step-by-step approach, you'll be much more likely to succeed in building lasting habits.
