Many small actions that add up to something big over time may seem not important. This makes it hard to prioritize them and see their 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
