You're not alone. Millions of people start every new year,every Monday morning,or every fresh chapter of life with ambitious goals.They buy planners,download habit-tracking apps,create detailed schedules, and make bold promises to themselves.

But what if you've been trying to build habits the wrong way all along? Small Enough to Keep offers a refreshingly honest and practical approach to lasting change.
