The one-week flexible plan is recommended for people who want to try the Mini Habits
system, but aren't sure yet what's best for them. This plan will automatically turn into one
of the other plans.
Warning: It's important to mark the oneweek mark on your calendar to make a firm
decision that day about your future plans. Don't allow a gap!
The Single Mini Plan
Do you want to write consistently more than anything? Do you really want to get serious
about your fitness? Do you want to dedicate yourself to daily reading?This single mini plan
places all of your focus on one habit; it comes with a very high success rate. I started off
doing this with the One Push-up Challenge, in which I was required to do at least one
push-up every day. If your willpower is as weak as mine was or if you're depressed, one
might be all you can handle. You've got to start somewhere!
This is recommended for people who have a single goal that dwarfs the others in importance
right now. It's also a good option for those with very weak self control to help them improve
it.Remember, you can always add more mini habits, but it's more painful to have to drop one.
Multiple Mini Plan
This is my current strategy and the most advanced one, but that doesn't mean it's too difficult
for a beginner to have success with. I have three mini habits, but you'll see that two of them
are practically the same thing: I write at least 50 words for anything, write at least 50 words
toward a book, and read at least two pages of a book every day.This is in addition to my now
regularsized habit of working out at the gym 3 times a week (which evolved from the One
Push-up Challenge). Even with three distinct daily goals, I can complete my entire list easily in
less than ten minutes if needed (and never fail).
