We built an app around this exact line of thinking about amounts of change, and sticking at things. Its core is: - don't try to change too much at once - if failing, adjust rather than abandon http://streaksapp.com/ http://streaksapp.com/ We intentionally limit the number of daily tasks to six. And if you're continually nailing or failing a task, the app suggests you tweak your target. I've managed to go from staying up late (working on projects when I'm fading) to knocking off tasks from 5-7am before the family wakes up (when I'm fresh and motivated). I leave less-essential tasks like watching movies for late at night when I'm getting distracted or tired. When we started beta testing, I kept failing to find 30 minutes/day to read a book. I changed to 10 minutes which felt paltry, but it was something I managed to stick with and started making progress on my pile of unfinished books.
