Microdiscipline

It seems like we often say to ourselves that we’ll be disciplined “on the big things” and “this one little thing won’t hurt”.  Well, I am starting to think that is a load of bull.  We are almost never faced with some “big” task which we either do or don’t do, all at once.  Rather, almost every big thing consists of a hundred little ones.  So doing what you should do in the little things becomes really important.  I am calling this microdiscipline — doing the little things that are difficult to do, but which are in our best interest (and I’m going to try to have more of it!).
