Showing up, or, The Two-Minute Rule............

. . . use the Two-Minute rule, which states, "When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do."
     You'll find that nearly any habit can be scaled down into a two-minute version:

         -"Read before bed each night" becomes "Read one page."
         -"Do 30 minutes of yoga" becomes "Take out my yoga  mat."
         -"Study for class" becomes "open my notes."
         -"Fold the laundry" becomes "Fold one pair of socks."
         -Run three miles" becomes "Tie my running shoes."

     The idea is to make your habits as easy as possible to start. . . .

     People often think its weird to get hyped about reading one page, or meditating for one minute or making one sales call.  But the point is not to do the one thing.  The point is to master the habit of showing up.  The truth is, a habit must be established before it can be improved.  IF you can't learn the basic skill of showing up, then you have little hope of mastering the finer details.  Instead of trying to engineer a perfect habit from the start, do the easy thing on a more consistent basis.  You have to standardize before you can optimize.
