Do we constantly propose exciting new projects in our lives, such as being healthier, starting to go to the gym, starting a new career?
All of them lead us to plan goals that many of us have been leaving in the way, do we postpone them days, months, years ?, and forget about them.
- Most of the time.
- We even started doing them.
- We launched our action plan.
- But after several attempts.
- All of a sudden we dropped it for a long time.
- You know why this is happening?.
It is common for us to live these kinds of experiences in our lives because the burden we have imposed from the beginning is very important, this makes us feel more tired than usual and does not allow us to get used to the new habit.
Whoever postpones everything won’t leave anything finished or perfect?

The minute rule, also known as the Kaizen method, is that the person performs a certain task for one minute each day, at the same time.
The term that forms the name of the Kaizen method in Japanese was originally constructed using two words “Kai” Wisdom.
Masaaki Imai, the creator of this rule and concept, believes that Kaizen is a true philosophy of life and can be used successfully in the professional field and in personal life.
The secret of this method is that a minute is a short time, in this way we avoid using an excess of energy at the beginning and at the same time, in this way we avoid the famous laziness, without creating obstacles.
With this rule, allow yourself to perform tasks you can’t do for more than half an hour and avoid making excuses for not materializing them, for a minute it will be much easier to execute them.
Any activity that used to involve too much time and wear will now have little difficulty being aware that you only need to spend a minute on it.
This state of mind will generate motivation and enthusiasm so that you can fulfill the action plan. This brings us to the famous premise that “by taking small steps, we can achieve results that we believe are unattainable. “
By using this method, remember that you will also be able to overcome all thoughts that create internal barriers and obstacles to achieve what you want, this will help you avoid a possible sense of guilt, helplessness and realization once you reach your established personal goal. .
Once you have repeated this step of the minute, you will feel so motivated that you can easily increase the time to five minutes, always remembering to go gradually and successively, so you can arrive in half an hour that previously seemed so impossible.
Do you encourage this technique to be implemented with this activity that has not yet been performed?
If your answer is no, don’t worry, Western societies live an education and a way of life where they teach us that it is not possible to achieve good and fruitful results without enormous and painful effort.
The fantastic thing about the Kaizen method is that it can be used by anyone, being perfectly useful and suitable for any part of your life.
Taking, for example, their home country, Japan, use a methodology that consists of gradual and steady growth to improve management processes.
I’d like to say goodbye and ask you the hard question: what do you want to accomplish, and for what?I’d like you to take a moment to think.
Now, having the motivating activity, I encourage you to start practicing the Kaizen method, dare to make your dreams come true and what you want.
