A Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Chinese Proverb
What about a week of Finding Your Low Hanging Fruit to jump start a simplifying journey with easily digested bites before you move on to tougher ones? I’ll offer a few low-hanging- fruit suggestions, but if they don’t inspire you, find some that do. The idea is to start. Take a step. Pick something quick (thirty minutes or so) and easy (a task, not a project). Do something for six consecutive days before you decide to carry on or to call it quits.
On day seven, decide if you’re on a path that is worth pursuing. If so, journey on. If not, at least a few things will be in better shape than before. The low fruit might soon be picked, but once you’re in practice, reaching higher or deeper won’t be so hard. You’ve taken the hardest step by starting. Congratulations! You haven’t just tried, you have done.
