Building a Bridge

Building a bridge is a monumental task, but a bridge without foot traffic is just a monument. The same applies to our daily routines. We can spend hours designing the perfect morning schedule, outlining our goals, and setting our intentions. But eventually, we have to stop planning and start walking.

The transition from intention to action is often the hardest part of the day. The inertia of our warm beds and comfortable routines begs us to stay put.

Activating Your Day

To activate your day, do not focus on the entire journey; focus only on the very first, frictionless step.

• If you want to utilize a new collaborative tool, your first step isn’t migrating all your data—it’s simply logging in.
• By breaking macro goals into micro, immediate actions, you bypass the brain’s resistance to change.

Step onto the bridge today with one small, decisive action.
