Your writing feels like someone turning on a small lamp in a dark room. Not dramatic, just enough to see clearly again. These tiny resets feel more powerful than any big plan I’ve ever made.
Thank you for this really helpful article. I restacked it and shared it with my wife and our daughter. I have read a lot about self-improvement, and I still found some insights I could use here. I especially like the idea of subtracting instead of adding. Removing distractions not only creates peace, but also opens up time and energy for the things that matter. By the way, your reference to the little joys in life reminded me of a line from Benjamin Franklin, who was a master of self-improvement: “I . . . think happiness consists more in small conveniences or pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life.”
I've done many "little" steps to make my life easier or boost a skill. After a while of doing this "little" thing, I realized I made myself move farther than expected. It's not magic, but rather it's persistence.

Excellent! Such a good nudge for all of us! We get on a more and better treadmill, don't we! Thanks for your suggestions!
Minimum version completely transformed my life. <3 Even just reading this helped me feel a little calmer.
"3. Create a “minimum version” of everything that feels hard right now"
I love everything about this!!
Love the “minimum version” idea. Definitely going to try that!
