Many small actions that over time add up to something large may be hard to prioritize and see it real value. It’s difficult to tangibly connect each small sub-action to the bigger one.
Examples:
- Procrastination: A few moments of delay might not seem like a big deal, but they add up. After wasting hours, you end up feeling unproductive and bad about yourself.
- Health: Skipping a healthy choice one day seems harmless, but these choices add up and affect your overall health.
Way out
- Ingrain these actions as habits so one doesn’t need to decide whether to do it every time
- Maybe
