A small weight far from the center can tip a big one close in. Little habits have long arms.

Distance from the middle is what creates force. A small weight far out can tip something far heavier sitting near the center, which is why little habits at the edges of your day have effects out of all proportion to their size. What you do in the ten minutes after you wake up, or in the last ten before you sleep, reaches further than most of the hours in between.

Change one edge this week. Phone out of the bedroom, water before coffee, shoes by the door. Pick one and leave the rest of your day alone.
