How to Be a Better Human · Want to change your life? Start small! (w/ Eric Zimmer) · 6 Apr 2026 podcast

Then I have to work on memorizing it.

And so when I look at my task list, very often what I have on there are sort of mini projects.

Even something like get taxes done is a multi-step thing.

I got to gather all the, it's this, that time of year, I've got 1099s and all that stuff, you know, all kinds of different places in my house.

I got to get them all gathered up.

I need to package it up.

I need to get the books tied up and I got to send them to my account.

I mean, there's a bunch of steps in it, but I call it get taxes done.

And I see this in people all the time.

And so, yeah, a way of doing little by little is to break it down.

What is the literal first action in this process?

We are strange creatures, right?

In that our motivation and our ability to do things is limited.

I wish it was better than it was.

But for example, if I have to, if I've got called doctor, literally there are times that I have to say, the first step I have to write down is find doctor's phone number, right?

I feel like an idiot.

I'm like a behavior coach.

I teach this to people.

Surely I don't need to do that, but sometimes I do.

You know, I shouldn't, it doesn't seem like I should have to trick myself into getting on the exercise bike by saying, just put on your bike shoes.
