How Small Matters

Monarch Butterfly Egg, About 0.9 mm in Diameter

Small is good.

Why?

✅ Easy to Do

A small step takes less effort and time.

✅ Easy to Start

A small start takes less planning and preparation.

So starting small makes it easier to begin a project.

✅ Easy to Change

A small step can be reversed, usually quickly and easily.

It can also be stopped with less effort.

✅ Low Risk

The cost or investment is less.

And the consequences are more manageable.

✅ Necessary

Often a small step is an essential part of learning.

Or it’s an experimental process (i.e., try, evaluate, adjust, and try).

And of course, every project begins with some action.

✅ Growth

All improvement consists of making small changes.

Every achievement comes from collecting small victories.

✅ Example #1:

This post is easy to read.

It contains short sentences. With brief ideas.

✅ Example #2:

I was stuck.

Then I wrote one word.

Really, just one word.

And that led to another, and another, and another.

Then I made many small edits.

So small works.

✅ Suggestion:

Realize that small matters.

So think small, start small, and plan small on your way to huge success

Much success,
