Summary

Micro habits are very small positive behaviors that you need to force yourself to complete every day. Micro habits are too small to fail.

It is precisely because of this feature that it will not impose any burden on you, and it has a super “deceptive” nature, so it has become a very advantageous habit forming strategy.

The scientific principle of micro habit strategy shows the reason why people can’t stick to most mainstream growth strategies for a long time, and also reveals the possibility that people can stick to micro habit strategies for a long time.

When people can’t make the effect of change lasting, they often think that the reason is their own, but in fact, the problem is not their own, but the strategies they adopt.

When you start to use the micro habit strategy to teach you how to do things, it is actually easy to make lasting changes.
