Just one more. It’s such a simple phrase, but it can have a powerful effect on our behavior.

Whether we’re trying to lose weight, quit smoking, or just procrastinate less, those three little words can be the difference between success and failure. When we want to give up, they remind us that we’re almost there. When we’re undecided, they give us the push we need to make a decision. And when we’re feeling lazy, they spur us into action.

In a world where so many things compete for our attention, it’s easy to get sidetracked and forget our goals. So next time you’re feeling like giving up, remember: just one more. You’ll be glad you did.
