Here are a few tiny habits you can start today, inspired by BJ Fogg and James Clear’s “start small” approach.
Yeah, they sound silly.
Fitness Example
“One push-up” habit
- After you brush your teeth at night, do 1 push-up.
- If you feel like more, do more—but 1 is always a win.
“One-minute walk” habit
- After you put on your shoes in the morning, walk for 1 minute (even just around your home).
- Over time, extend it to 5–10 minutes.
Writing / Creativity Example
“One sentence” habit
- After you open your laptop, write one sentence toward your project (blog, book, newsletter).
- More is optional; one sentence keeps the habit alive.
“One idea” capture
- After lunch, jot down one idea or observation in a notes app or notebook.
- This builds a daily creative log with almost no friction.
Mindfulness Example
“One breath” pause
- After you sit down at your desk, take one slow, deep breath before touching your phone or keyboard.
- Optionally, expand to 3–5 breaths as it becomes easy.
“One-minute no-phone” Buffer Example
- When you get into bed, set a 1-minute timer where you don’t touch your phone—just lie still or think about the day.
- Over time, stretch it to 5–10 minutes of no-phone wind-down.
The key is to make each habit so small it feels almost silly, attach it to something you already do (“after I… I will…”), and give yourself a tiny mental “good job” each time.
