“The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.” — Confucius
When a project feels impossible, our ADHD brain sees the whole mountain and shuts down. The trick? Stop staring at the summit. Instead, look for the smallest possible action that chips away at the goal.
Related Study: Research on “chunking” tasks shows that breaking work into smaller, concrete steps reduces procrastination and builds momentum (Amabile & Kramer, Progress Principle, 2011).
Why It Works:
✅ Micro-steps reduce cognitive overload.
✅ Small wins release dopamine, fueling motivation.
✅ Progress compounds faster than perfection.
Today’s Challenge:
Pick a task you’ve been avoiding. Break it into five tiny steps (each <15 minutes). Do the first one today.
Final Thought:
Mountains don’t move overnight. They move one small stone at a time.
Start with your first stone today 💎 — your summit is closer than you think. — 1% CheatCode
