"About 70% of Americans are sleep deprived." "The Kaizen Approach: small little changes daily lead up in the end to big changes." "If we do little changes day by day and week by week we can get those big changes in the end. But we can't do it in one big swoop." "Working in a group with people or even having one partner to help you stay accountable actually does work." "If you try doing too much at once, it's just a recipe for disaster." "Give yourself little, small rewards when you reach these goals." "Check in with why you really want to make that change. That will keep you grounded and keep your eye on the goal."
