We spend a lot of time and mental energy on major decisions.
- Which university to attend?
- What career to pursue?
- Who to marry?
- Which house to buy?
These macro decisions are important, but they are rare. Just as important are the micro decisions we make along the way.
- How will I study and prioritize my school work each day?
- What will help me show up and make a difference at work?
- How do I communicate effectively with my partner so they feel understood?
- How can we maintain our home to retain its value? What sequence of small projects would improve its value?
Major decisions will get their required attention. Meanwhile, investing effort in developing valuable habits could pay off even more. With a habit, the hard part isn’t deciding, it’s sticking to the decision.
