When you choose actions that push you just enough to stretch your capacity, yet are still within reach, you create a pathway for steady, consistent progress.

The “minimum effective dose” (MED)— means identifying the least amount of effort needed to create meaningful progress. This principle isn’t about laziness or apathy; it’s about working smarter, not harder.

The process of evaluating what to do next requires a strategic approach to understanding the limiting factors that could hinder your progress and the advantages that can accelerate your success.
