The Power of Micro Actions
Big goals can feel overwhelming, but lasting success is built one small step at a time. Micro actions—tiny, intentional steps—have the power to create massive momentum. Whether it’s sending one email, making a five-minute call, or writing a single paragraph, each action compounds over time. These simple tasks build confidence, clarify direction, and help you stay consistent.
When you act, even in the smallest way, you shift from thinking into doing—and that’s where the magic begins. Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Start with what you have, where you are, and do one small thing today. Success doesn’t come from giant leaps. It comes from showing up again and again, one micro action at a time.
💭 Choose one Micro-action today that reflects the kind of leader you want to be. Showing up is a big one for me. As a member of an organization, I have to show up for the meetings. All the meetings. It has made for a few very difficult decisions and a few amazing experiences.
Please let me know in the comments which micro-action you have chosen.

Starting Again 2024
Happy New Year.
Question of the year 2024 – from 2023. What’s working for you?
I’m a list maker, so I’ll begin.
Working for me # 1 – Sleep Habit
I end every day writing a list, surprise, right? I write not just thinking about – it’s easy to go to bed and think oh, that went well or that was good. But writing it down and, in some cases, noting how that happened? When I write how I made that happen, I’m surprised to learn that I planted a seed a few days, weeks, or months ago, and the outcome started growing. The result is incredible, and I am grateful. The acknowledgment of that outcome is in my writing at night.
I write the three things I’m grateful for during the day. The results are fascinating.
1. Most importantly, I get a good night’s sleep. I haven’t stuffed my mind with useless trivia or negative thinking.
2. It helps me reflect on the things or circumstances I created to support that good part of the day and how I can repeat them.
Working for me #2 – Website Building
I am learning how to build my website again. Paul taught me in 2010 to develop my website from scratch. It served me well for many years. The new one is one in WordPress but with Elegant Themes and DIVI. I love it! I love working on it and figuring out the puzzle. Yes, it would be faster and easier if I hired someone to do that for me. But I’m not in a rush, and yet I am in a hurry. The joy of working on it outweighs the time it takes.
1. Learning Divi
2. Researching the best templates and methods of communication
Working for me #3 – Envisioning Possibilities
I have chosen a new set of words to define the purpose-driven vision workshop I’ve been doing for years. Although, many people find the terms interesting and exciting to follow, I was bored with the words.
I believe the concept is strong and still stands, but PDVB? Even the acronym looked stoggy.
Advanta Strategies is over 20 years old and it is my main business, this year I added a spark to it.
1. I purchased a new URL
2. Using Divi – created a website for people to sign up. www.envisioningpossibilities.com

Napkin
Napkins Whose napkin is it anyway? Is my napkin on the right of the place setting or on the left? According to Emily Post ( http://emilypost.com/advice/informal-place-setting/), this is where the napkins can be found. "Napkin: The napkin is folded or put in a napkin...
My micro-action today was pressing “publish” on a post that reflects where I’m headed this spring. I’m focusing on nurture as my word of the year—choosing to reset with intention, one small step at a time. Clearing clutter, making smoothie bowls, rebuilding skating strength—it’s all adding up to something more.

I love the idea of micro actions. It’s very easy for me to get overwhelmed when there’s a lot to do, or in a big project. I like to make a todo list and break it all down to smaller “micro actions”. It’s very satisfying to be able to cross a completed task off and feel like I’m accomplishing something.
My micro action I’d blogging every day. It makes me feel productive, even if no one reads my post. I’m doing this for me, and nobody else. If people get some joy from my posts then great!
If I did not read your post today, I would not have to make ANY commitment! However, since I did (and I am glad I did), I will make a daily micro-committment.
Starting today, I will NOT leave dishes in the sink over night. I will make sure it is empty before I go to bed.
Let’s see how I do with this!
Such a beautiful reminder. Even five quiet minutes with my crochet hook can turn my whole day around.
