When it’s time to ratchet up the target, adding one day per week to a habit can feel like a huge change! I find that fine-grained values work better when possible. For my piano practice, I don’t use “numbers of days practiced per week”: I use “number of minutes practiced per week.” I barely notice adding ten minutes per week to the goal, so I can smoothly ratchet up my target. … These fine-grained values also offer more flexibility. … the flexibility helps me maintain specific goals in the face of my shifting daily interest and availability.
