Instead of making sweeping New Year’s resolutions that are hard to maintain, the Kaizen approach focuses on small, continuous improvements that add up over time. Rooted in Japanese management philosophy, Kaizen emphasizes making tiny, manageable changes that feel achievable and reduce the pressure that often leads people to quit. The idea is to build momentum by improving just one percent at a time, whether that means exercising for a few minutes a day, tweaking a daily habit, or refining how you work. This method helps rewire behavior through consistency rather than motivation, making progress feel natural instead of forced. By shifting the goal from dramatic transformation to steady growth, Kaizen offers a more realistic and sustainable way to approach self improvement in the new year.
