Change can be difficult, change can be daunting especially if it seems like a big departure from how you are / how you do things today. Enter micro actions
Micro actions are small, manageable steps towards a behavior change. As James Clear writes in Atomic Habits, you break the change into many small steps - each building into a bigger change over time
Want to build connection with others? (2023 was the year of loneliness - let's change that!)
Examples of micro actions I've collected include
Share a meal with someone
Be a mentor
Meet new people
Work on your self awareness
Want to be more mindful?
Take three mindful sips of your morning coffee or tea
Sit still for two minutes daily. No reading, talking or music / TV, just sit
Try a ten minute "awe walk" three times a week
Take several deep breaths when you get into bed at the end of the day
If productivity is your thing
Use the first hour of our day to clearly set your own agenda and plan for the day
Dedicate a set time each day to de-clutter. Organize your files, your accounts, your marketing, your desk, your contacts etc.
Disable audio and visual notifications on your computer when doing "focus work"
Instead of a to do list, block time in your calendar for tasks so you have time to get those tasks done built into your schedule
