Sunday Story...Small Tasks

We all know that consistency is the key to long-term growth and success. But it is very easy to lose sight of the significant accomplishments that take place from doing small tasks every day.

I recently got a recap from my Whoop strap of my activity over the last year. I am not going to bore you with all the details of my activity over the previous year. Suffice it to say, I found the recap very revealing in the overall progress made. Remember, this was my “knee” year, when I had my knee replaced around Thanksgiving.

Here is my point about consistency and how a small effort can turn into big results. Last year, according to Whoop, I walked about 4.2 million steps. 4,193,741 steps to be exact. Whaat!!! My first reaction was, “There’s no way! 4 million??” That is the equivalent of climbing Mt Everest 46 times! But when you break that down to a daily achievement, it is 11,490 steps every day of the year. Granted, I am probably moving a lot more than most people, but that still seems like a lot. Not 11,000 a day, but 4 million a year.

What did you do last year that surprised you at the end of the year? Did you get to the box over 200 times last year (that’s only 4 per week!) Did you tell your loved ones you loved them over 300 times last year (less than 1x day)? What else?

If you want to end next year with some impressive accomplishments, start small, start now, and do it every darn day! You'll be surprised at what you can accomplish by doing small tasks every day!
