For example, if you read book for 15 minutes everyday for year then you can finish 12 books.
Now, imagine, you promise yourself that I will start reading from tomorrow and later you say, not today, from next Monday I will read for 1 hour everyday.
You will give excuse over excuse because you overpromise yourself, instant, start like baby and just read for only 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, if you feel, you want to read for 20 minutes then go read it, don't force yourself.
The lessons is simple, your mind won't notice small change but if you make huge change on the first day then after two or three days, you will come back to square Zero and that will demotivate to start again.
