I have a lot of things that I want to work on to improve myself ranging from drinking more water daily to learning to become a better programmer. I also know that most of what I want to work on would be considered habits, which take time to become ingrained. In addition, the human brain can only handle so many things at once. I don't want to spread out my self improvement too long by only focusing on one change until it becomes habit, but I also don't want to tackle the world all at once and become disillusioned with everything (ala New Years Resolutions). Thoughts? Anyone? Bueller?" Advice Start with 1 thing. It’s much easier to start that way than to worry about everything Focus on improving your ability to improve (decision making, understanding, self-discipline) As you improve one area of your life it will snowball into other areas As you gain confidence in your ability to do what you say, it will become easier to take on harder and harder things Challenge Pick one thing to improve right now
