We love the title of BJ Gallagher’s book It’s Never Too Late to Be What You Might Have Been—but the prospect of a life overhaul makes us tired. Heck, looking at our to-do list makes us tired. So we were glad when BJ explained that simple changes can make a huge difference, and that three is the charm. For instance: “Ask yourself, ‘What three simple, do-able things can I do to my work space that would make me happy?’” she suggests. “Then do them. The next day, ask yourself, ‘What three simple, doable things can I do with my wardrobe that would make me happy?’ Then do them. The day after that, ask yourself, ‘What three simple, do-able things can I do to my bedroom that would make me happy?’ Then do them.” Okay, that might not be enough to transform us into Nobel Prize winners. But we can see that before long, we’ll feel happily unstuck.
