There’s something about crossing even the smallest thing off your list. Closing a tab. Shipping a tiny change. It gives you a pulse of momentum.

With a long holiday ahead and half the world already out-of-office, I found some rare quiet space. The inbox shrank. The task list got lighter. One checkmark at a time.

That progress creates its own reward, a little dopamine hit that pulls you into the next step.

Small tasks don’t just make big goals possible, they make them inevitable.

So write that copy. Commit the code. Send the email. Write that review.

Move, and feel the momentum build.
