Abstract:
Explains how small behavioral changes lead to major self-improvement. Whether trying to lose weight, save money, or get organized, we're always setting goals and making resolutions but rarely following through on them. To succeed we have to learn how to focus our self-control on precise behavioral targets and overwhelm them. A microresolution is easily kept and designed to nail a self-improvement target exactly and deliver benefits immediately.
