4. Baby steps, baby. Again, inertia is a very strong force. I've said it before, but this is a very important step here: the best way to change is through baby steps. One small step at a time. Don't try to bite off too much. How is this different from the above step, setting a small and achievable goal? It's the same concept, but extended beyond the initial goal. It's taking things one little goal at a time, a bit at a time. For example, let's say you want to run a marathon, but currently your running regimen consists of running to the bathroom during commercial breaks while you're watching Lost. So do you go out and start a marathon training plan? Nope. You start by walking 10 minutes a day. Then, when that becomes a habit and too easy, walk 15 minutes. Then 20, then 30. Then jog a minute, walk a couple minutes, jog a minute, and so on, for those 30 minutes. Then jog 90 seconds, and so on, until you're running for 30 minutes. Do these steps a week or two at a time, so that all of a sudden, you're running for 45 minutes every other day … and you barely noticed the progression. That's the way you get to a goal … small progressions that are barely noticeable. Not by killing yourself the first day out.
4. 一步步的做。惯性是非常强的力量，我之前提到过。最好的办法是走好每一小步，这是非常重要的。每次一小步。不要尝试一次做得过多。这与我们前面提到过的树立小而可及的目标有什么不同呢？其实是一样的，只是不局限于最初的目标，它是指每次树立一个新的目标，每次进步一点。比如说，让我们设想你要参加马拉松比赛，但是最近你的生活习惯是在沉迷与看《迷失》，广告期间还老跑到洗漱间。在这种状态下，你还会出去参加马拉松训练吗？不，刚开始你每天走10分钟，形成习惯后，每天走15分钟。随后变为 20分钟，30分钟，然后慢跑一刻钟，走上半小时，再慢跑一刻钟，如此反复。然后可以慢跑延长到30分钟，直到你能跑上30分钟。坚持每周或每两周一次，而后，突然有一天，你会发现每隔一天你能跑上45分钟了---而你却几乎觉察不出这种进展。那就是成功的方法----一点点地进步，小得甚至不能察觉，而不是在第一天就让你精力耗尽。
