Science tells us that there is a way to make progress that doesn’t involve a tremendous amount of time or effort—and is more likely to stick. The trick? Think small. Or, more specifically, “micro.” “Microsteps”—a term coined by Arianna Huffington , Thrive Global founder & CEO—are small, incremental, science-backed actions we can take that will have both immediate and long-lasting benefits to the way we live our lives. This is confirmed by science and habit change experts, who advise people to start small and cultivate an environment where doing the right thing is as easy as possible. To create a new habit, simplify the behavior down to its tiniest essence. Doing this ensures that the habit will be easy to do, which means you’ll be more likely to continue it.
