Easy small wins are better than no wins. The goal should be improvement not perfection.
- abraae 10y agoThe goal should also be sparking discussion. If a few guests starting having the same thoughts that are going on here, that would be a win.
- coldtea 10y agoYes if everybody shared his post the environment would be so much better. Kind of how Facebook "Likes" on sappy posts help the third world.
- abraae 10y agoDiscussion != likes. If someone twigs that they could cycle to work instead of driving - win.
- coldtea 10y ago>Discussion != likes. No, but they have in common that both != action. >If someone twigs that they could cycle to work instead of driving - win. I don't think those are actual wins. Those are empty feel good gestures when 350 million others will continue to just drive. Only coordinated action, and even better legislation, matters.
- coldtea 10y ago>Easy small wins are better than no wins. The goal should be improvement not perfection. Easy small wins of that kind are feel-good gestures that get detrimental to actual change. The goal should be making a difference, not token improvements.
- theptip 10y agoFalse dichotomy. The claim is that spending more time on easy wins means you're less likely to spend time on big wins. The goal should be to maximize the impact of the changes you make.
