Whether you're looking to lose weight, improve your sleep, or restore your work-life balance, the secret to success is to start small. For years, we've been told that being more healthy and productive is a matter of willpower, and that we should follow the latest fad and make constant changes to our lifestyles. However, radical overhauls never work. Instead, we should focus on quick wins and embed new, tiny habits into our everyday routines.

The world expert on this approach is Silicon Valley legend BJ Fogg, pioneering research psychologist, and founder of the iconic Behaviour Design Lab at Stanford. In his highly anticipated book, Tiny Habits, BJ Fogg shows us how to change our lives for the better, one tiny habit at a time. Based on twenty years of research and his experience coaching over 40,000 people, it cracks the code of habit formation.

The key to success is to focus on what is easy to change, not what is hard. Instead of trying to overhaul our diets, fitness plans, or jobs, we should focus on creating small, incremental changes that we can stick to. This means finding small ways to incorporate more exercise into our daily routine, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator or going for a walk during our lunch break.

Another important aspect of habit formation is to focus on what we want to do, not what we should do. We should identify our goals and create small, actionable steps to achieve them. For example, if our goal is to read more books, we can start by setting a goal of reading one book per week and then creating a habit of reading for 10 minutes before bed each night.

One of the most surprising findings in BJ Fogg's research is that creating happier, healthier lives can be easy and surprisingly fun. By focusing on small, incremental changes, we can build a foundation of healthy habits that will have a positive impact on our overall well-being. We can also enjoy the process of building new habits and seeing the positive results that they have on our lives.

In conclusion, improving our lives is much easier than we think. By starting small and focusing on what is easy to change, we can embed new, tiny habits into our everyday routines and create a foundation of healthy habits that will have a positive impact on our overall well-being. Whether you're looking to lose weight, improve your sleep, or restore your work-life balance, BJ Fogg's approach to habit formation can help you achieve your goals. So why not start today and create your own tiny habits that will lead to a happier, healthier life?
