Aim For One Small Increment
- Aim for better rather than perfection when building habits.
- Increase frequency by one step (e.g., exercise once → twice) to create a sustainable improvement that can be nudged later.

- Small, sustainable tweaks fit existing routines and therefore stand a much better chance of sticking.
