How do you take immediate action?

Keep an eye on the subtle details, never skip that extra check, spend a few more minutes. Small actions are strong tools for everyday life growth and development. Minuscule initiatives can yield big results. In the book The Power of Small. Why Little Things Make All the Difference authors Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval show how miniscule actions can have a huge impact on your day, your week, your existence.

Take 1 minute extra. Read your report one more time, look at the budget again, reread your e-mail and. You'll be glad you did. Learn, don't preach. Limit your negative criticism. Instead, share a story about your failures and the mistakes you have made yourself, and how you learned from them. Listen. Nod. Make a note. Ask for criticism and feedback. Go back to when you were. Bring out the genius you had in you when you were four years old. The wonder of the open-mindedness with which you looked at the world. Ask small, simple questions just like then. Ask why this and why that. Be curious, ask for specific steps and instructions. Find a friendly critic. Ask hard questions and demand strong answers from someone who wants you well, who is gentle, but does not spare you. Offer something extra. Say you want to do more and do it. Suggest taking over chores and tasks. Help. Connect. Chat, greet, and smile with those around you. Leave little impressions. Look for little ways to be considerate. Remember names, favourite drinks and birthdays. Take small steps. Decide to take 10,000 steps per day. Go on foot, park your car ahead, take the stairs. If you spend your life in front of the TV and the PC, you take an average of 1000 to 3000 steps per day. Try to do 500 more every day.
