("Atomic Habits" inspired) What is the smallest / easiest things you can tweak about your daily life *today*?

...See more I feel like we often get so fixated on the ideal / "happy ever after" goal in our heads that we are tirelessly working towards. The book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear made me realize that in my head achieving those goals even in a reasonable timeframe would require me making some pretty drastic changes in my daily live. Chasing this kind of progress has lead to me working very very hard at times and then procrastinating way way too much at times. However, the discussion about marginal gains and how a small change compounded overtime can have significant long-term benefits (which aren't seen in the short term but you start seeing advantages of those changes after a certain "activation period" after which the benefits seem more apparent). I'd be very interested if anyone would like to share: What is the smallest / easiest thing you can tweak about your daily life today for the better?
