And we can't make 10 changes.

We can make a couple at best, usually.

And so having the patience to say, like, I'm going to work on this.

If you can set a big, hairy, audacious goal and you can change your life overnight and you can just keep doing it, I would set this book down and I would keep going.

But for the rest of us,

This is an approach that works, but I agree with you because you're right.

We do things emotionally.

And one of the problems of little by little is you get into this long middle where not much is happening.

So I think there's a few different ways to work on that.

Even if you have a big goal, it always makes sense to deconstruct it into smaller goals along the way, because then you are getting emotional payoff, right?

It's a big undertaking.

And so what I divided the book up into to begin with was simply writing sessions.

And if I did the writing session, I tried to celebrate that.
