I saw an interesting article on how Jerry Seinfeld developed motivation to write jokes and made it into a habit. He took a large calendar and every day he wrote jokes, he put a big red “X” on that day. After a few days a chain developed.

Then his whole goal become to not break the chain.

By not breaking the chain there is not an opportunity to skip a day. Because once you skip a day, it is easier to skip the next day.

This is along the sames lines which of what Tony Robbins talks about. Doing something small everyday keeps your mind focused on it, and your subconscious continues to work on it even when you are not consciously. The small efforts build and soon build into momentum. When momentum develops, that’s when much is accomplished in a short amount of time.

Looking back at some of my major accomplishments, they all came by making small investments early on…and regardless of the fact that I did not see immediate results, I kept plugging away at it and after awhile I started seeing progress. Progress built and built until one day the “landslide” came and not only did I achieve my goal, I achieved far more than I ever thought possible.
