Yes! What a great post :) I’ll have to check out her blog…

This is a great post because it encourages us to do whatever we can, no matter how small. It sounds a lot like snowflaking progress, to me ;)

The best part is that when we start to see the little bits of progress add up, we take a stronger interest in making progress (hence the order of bills smallest to largest in Dave Ramsey’s baby step two).

Real progress always seems to take time. You’re right, the small steps will lead you very far over time. A marathon isn’t mile one then mile 26; it’s all the single steps you take between. Some are easy and some are excruciating but you push on and eventually you’re looking at the finish line.

Funny this is, it doesn’t take much time or effort to do a lot of damage. One flat screen tv purchase can put a person in debt. It’s important to remember to keep taking the little steps and not deviate.

Thanks for the post!

this whole idea can work with just about anything.. have 50 pounds to lose? Just start working it off. If you lose 1 pound a week, you can lose the weight in less than a year! little baby steps add up!
