Micro Wins...

Crossing something off our To Do list is a micro win - confirmation that we have taken some sort of action, closed some loop or fulfilled some commitment.

But micro wins can only move us towards macro wins if the thing we are crossing-off our list was an intentional action towards a bigger goal or ambition. Paying my gas bill doesn’t move me forward, 5 minutes figuring out the skills I need to develop for a new project does.

When it comes to achieving our bigger goals, it really doesn’t matter how small the step is, so long as it’s a step in the right direction…
