10 Tiny Life Changing Habits

Tiny tasks can help you create habits by lowering the resistance to getting started that bigger habits create. Microhabits should be so small that it would be silly for you to not do them. Tracking habits, whether on paper or on an app, can create streaks that you won’t want to break, especially when the task is so small.

The best thing about small habits is that you don’t have to do the bare minimum, but you can. And if you overshoot your goal somedays (and you will), you’ll find that the results can be amazing.

Here are ten tiny habits that I’ve implemented that have improved my focus and increased my productivity.

1. Drink only water

This habit doesn’t take any time at all. While science is constantly arguing about other liquids (wine, coffee, milk), assuming you have access to clean drinking water, science has yet to say anything bad about water with the exception of the very rare problem of overhydration.

While coffee is currently favored by the scientific community, by removing caffeinated beverages from daily drinking habit, you will find that caffeine is actually effective on the rare occasion you need it.

By giving up soda and wine, I’ve found that I feel better in the morning and I’m less tired.
