Short YouTube monologue by Jacqueline Snyder offering practical advice for New Year’s resolutions: choose one small, repeatable action (the “minimum effective dose”) and prioritize consistency over intensity. Snyder gives a personal example of aiming for 8,000–10,000 steps five to six days per week rather than extreme targets, and emphasizes that consistency snowballs while missed repetitions can derail progress.

We're back at the beginning of the year and we have so many New Year's resolutions and when people set a whole bunch of them, they're going to fail. And so it's like, what's one small action that you can start to implement in your business and start with one and repeat that a few times and then add on another. Consistency is more important than the intensity. Example. I sit at my desk a lot and I was like, all right, I want to hit 10,000 steps. Because that's what they say, right? 10,000 steps. And I thought, how about I go between eight to 10,000 steps, five to six days a week? I didn't say I'm going to run a marathon. I didn't say I'm going to hit the 20,000 steps. I was like, what is the minimum that I can do? Like the minimum effective dose to just get me into a pattern? Cuz that consistency is a thing that's going to snowball and grow. When we start to drop off of that consistency. If you miss one and then you miss another and then your brain starts to tell you over and over and over, well, it's okay, we'll get back to it. It's not going to happen. Implement one of these standards and be consistent with it and you'll start to see a change.
