💬 Your Success Stories
A college student struggled to stay focused on larger assignments. They decided to experiment with setting one tiny goal each morning—things like 'review one quizlet deck' or 'write 100 words today.' At first, it didn’t feel like much, but they started checking things off daily. Slowly, the momentum built. Bigger tasks didn’t feel so overwhelming, and progress became more consistent. These small goals created structure without pressure. Over time, they even started enjoying the planning process. What started as a one-line intention became a game changer. It wasn’t about perfection—it was about showing up with purpose.
