Big vs. Little Changes & Steve's Law

As we near the end of 2008, it's very easy to start thinking of resolutions for the new year. Often these are focused on very big changes we can make in our lives. While this vision on a grand scale can be a very positive thing, the scale of our ambition may be larger than our ability to execute.

Instead you might want to focus on a small change that can make a big difference in your life. It could be something as simple as putting in half a spoon of sugar in your coffee as opposed to a full one. In itself, it's not a big change but over time it will add up.

The same can apply to business. Using both sides of a piece of paper won't save the rain forest but in theory, it should cut your paper use by 50%.

Still not convinced about the power of little things? Watch this video about how two office supplies combined to make a rather large mess for the army.
