Tonight: Preparing for the Revisiting of the Little Bits 8.26 #SocialCafe

I also want to be sure to give credit for the phrase "little bits" to @Kathrynclang > Thanks, Kat! It is a concept that I have used for a long time but do not believe I can take the credit for the cool phrase! #SocialCafe

Q1 What does the phrase “little bits” mean to you? #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

Since we are halfway thru the year it is a good time to revisit the little bits! #SocialCafe
— #SocialCafe Team(@socialcafechat)

Q1 (rephrase) What are “little bits” when it comes to success in life? #SocialCafe
— #SocialCafe Team(@socialcafechat)

A1 “Little bits” means a bite-sized approach to getting things done >> #success #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

RT @socialwebcafe: Q1 What does the phrase “little bits” mean to you? #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe A1) Not a lot! (No pun intended!) #SocialCafe

Start getting those #ShamelessPlug tweets ready > We will tweet them later in #SocialCafe
— #SocialCafe Team(@socialcafechat)

A1: Little bits are those small increments of progress and action. #SocialCafe
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)

Q2 Has the view (or implementation) of little bits changed as you journey through 2019? How so? #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

@socialwebcafe Can't wait for the grand reveal! What does this topic mean? #SocialCafe
— Tom Reid(@_TomGReid)

Q2 (rephrase) Are we using a “little bits” approach in life? #SocialCafe
— #SocialCafe Team(@socialcafechat)

@Kathrynclang I recognize the phrase from an episode of #RickndMorty when they did inter dimensional television. That was not what it meant! #SocialCafe
— Tom Reid(@_TomGReid)

A2 I don't think the view has changed but mostly because “little bits” has been my approach to life for many decades already (even if I may not have used that term ;) ) #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

A2) Sometimes. Other times the need calls for a wholesale house cleaning. #SocialCafe
— Tom Reid(@_TomGReid)

Oh - #SocialCafe chat happening... just kidding - I didn't forget you... just stopped for eye drops so I could see you ;). - The fun of the dry desert and how much fun the eyes have lol
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

RT @_TomGReid: @socialwebcafe Can't wait for the grand reveal! What does this topic mean? #SocialCafe
— Con Sweeney(@conpsweeney)

@socialwebcafe The little bits you do each day will add up to the big changes you want for your life. #SocialCafe

RT @_TomGReid: A2) Sometimes. Other times the need calls for a wholesale house cleaning. #SocialCafe
— Con Sweeney(@conpsweeney)

A2: You use the "little bits" approach when you utilize small segments of time to get tasks done or attack small parts of a bigger task. #SocialCafe twitter.com/socialcafechat…
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)

I'd love to defer to @Kathrynclang to elaborate on the meaning of the little bits ;). She explains it so well... and what about incorporating it into a #gettingtoknowyou moment ? #SocialCafe twitter.com/_TomGReid/stat…
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

@_TomGReid @Kathrynclang And the curiosity grows! #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

@Kathrynclang @socialwebcafe Perhaps my version of this appears when I say that you have to do SOMETHING every day toward your expressed goals. Might not be major steps, but do something! #SocialCafe
— Tom Reid(@_TomGReid)

@socialwebcafe The little bits approach came from the idea of how to eat an elephant :) Basically, it's understanding that doing little bits, small steps, one bite at a time actions are what will push you to your BIG DREAM goals. #SocialCafe
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)

@_TomGReid @Kathrynclang To some extent - and folks feel free to correct me - little bits are like the building blocks of project management.... A matter of breaking the larger project into something management and doable. My whiteboard is full of them :). #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

@_TomGReid @socialwebcafe Exactly! You have to take a step, no matter how small, and then you have to keep taking steps. #SocialCafe
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)

Q3 What are some ways you want to improve on having “little bits” work for you? #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

@Kathrynclang @socialwebcafe On this, we are in complete agreement! #SocialCafe
— Tom Reid(@_TomGReid)

Little bits are also those bits of sand that get in the eyes in the desert when you need some moisture... Ok - I'm done. I'll stop milking the desert theme ;). #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

Q3 (rephrase) How can we improve? What challenges have we had? #SocialCafe
— #SocialCafe Team(@socialcafechat)

@Kathrynclang @_TomGReid Love it - so important to take that step. And, it might as well be a little bit, eh? That feeling of accomplishment and moving forward... #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

@socialwebcafe A3: I have two acres of gardens to reclaim. When I think about the task, it's overwhelming. When I choose to do 30 minutes of work each day I begin to see progress. Little bits = progress #SocialCafe
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)

RT @socialwebcafe: A1 “Little bits” means a bite-sized approach to getting things done >> #success #SocialCafe
— Audrey Caruso(@audrey_caruso)

A3 I can always use more organization, logging, tracking, and identification of areas for improvement... #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

@socialwebcafe @Kathrynclang Yes, it is. And now I get it. It is the right approach for all progress and improvements in your life. And I think it is important to remember that everyone is at a different point on their life journey. Big and little steps are relative to different personal journeys #SocialCafe
— Tom Reid(@_TomGReid)

OK - no promises, just in case, but for "part two" of this little-bits-revisited (next week - the great reveal as @_TomGReid calls it) I hope to have some resources, books, outlines, ideas, and more.... It is like the culmination of what we are prepping this week #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

@_TomGReid @socialwebcafe When you are five feet tall, your giant steps look little to others. ;) #SocialCafe
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)

Thanks @commun_it for helping us create #Twitter relationships commun.it please RT #SocialCafe #ad
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

A3) From my vision I carve out my current mission. Then I set goals to achieve that vision. From there I break down everything into do-able tasks which I then prioritize. Each item I can cross off that list is my "little bits" of progress. #SocialCafe
— Tom Reid(@_TomGReid)

Q4 How do you think the development of habits can help you with those little bits and future personal & business success? #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

@socialwebcafe A4: Practicing little bits will build better habits and the habits will help you practice the little bits. It's the Circle of Progress :D #SocialCafe
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)

Q4 (rephrase) How can we use development of little habits to help us? #SocialCafe
— #SocialCafe Team(@socialcafechat)

@Kathrynclang @socialwebcafe Exactly my point. The steps you take are on YOUR journey. Let everyone else chose their path and the size of their steps. Which reminds me - I still need to get 1800 in before midnight. #SocialCafe
— Tom Reid(@_TomGReid)

@socialwebcafe @commun_it What is this? #SocialCafe
— Tom Reid(@_TomGReid)

A4 I think one can take a view of habits that defines it as little bits, or as I read this week, “mini habits.” | I look forward to more discussion on mini habits next week during #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

#SocialCafe Have to head off now! See everyone next week!
— Con Sweeney(@conpsweeney)

@conpsweeney Thanks, Con - see you next week... TTYL. #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

@conpsweeney See you Con. Have a great week. #SocialCafe
— Tom Reid(@_TomGReid)

Q5 What tools or resources can help us in the pursuit of efficiency with little bits and success-building habits? #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

Q5 (rephrase) Any resources, people, websites that are helpful? #SocialCafe
— #SocialCafe Team(@socialcafechat)

A5: Digital timers are an excellent way to create little bits of accountability. I bought some Taylor brand and have them set at different intervals. #SocialCafe twitter.com/socialwebcafe/…
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)

A5 There are some great books, Kindle, audible, and worksheets that can help us with the little bits approach as well as defining successful mini habits ;) #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

A5: Journal your day to help stay accountable and to make a record for the little bits to add up. #SocialCafe
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)

A5) I think it is important to have a vision and goals designed to make you see progress toward them. You can track them any way you choose, but pen and paper work just fine. #SocialCafe
— Tom Reid(@_TomGReid)

@_TomGReid Or a #WhiteBoardofWorldDomination :D That works great for little bits pursuit! #SocialCafe
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)

Great idea! I used to journal my thoughts and track my successes but I like your idea, too :) #SocialCafe twitter.com/Kathrynclang/s…
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

@Kathrynclang I recall wanting at one point a series of chess timer clocks where I could just hit the button on top as I move on to the next task. Never got that, but I do use an online time tracker now. #SocialCafe
— Tom Reid(@_TomGReid)

@_TomGReid Yes! #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

@Kathrynclang @_TomGReid I have been noted going from white boarding to drawing stuff out on butcher block paper and back. Both work great for brainstorming. #SocialCafe
— Richard White(@Nightwolfwriter)

Q6 What tips do we have to offer on this topic? #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

@Nightwolfwriter @_TomGReid Butcher paper is AWESOME because it's like a never ending canvas :D #SocialCafe
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)

Q6 (rephrase) Tips, anyone? #SocialCafe
— #SocialCafe Team(@socialcafechat)

@Kathrynclang Yes it would! #SocialCafe
— Tom Reid(@_TomGReid)

A6: Be okay with little bits of progress because progress gets you closer. #SocialCafe twitter.com/socialwebcafe/…
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)

A6 Defining the helpful habits and the not-so-helpful (possibly wasteful) habits | Finding what coincides with the little bits approach to success #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

@Nightwolfwriter @Kathrynclang Yes. I am a chronic white-boarder/ easel paper fan when I am putting lists together or mapping out a project. Great for the big picture. #SocialCafe
— Tom Reid(@_TomGReid)

A6) Always have a supply of fresh markers and a bottle of whiteboard cleaner. #SocialCafe
— Tom Reid(@_TomGReid)

Thanks for the chat #SocialCafe - I'm off to put the little bits to practice with my sleeping - only I'm going to stack a whole lot of little bits up together :D
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)

RT @_TomGReid: A6) Always have a supply of fresh markers and a bottle of whiteboard cleaner. #SocialCafe
— Sohail Parvaiz ☀️(@SohailParvaiz)

@_TomGReid I use rubbing alcohol to clean my white board. #SocialCafe
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)

@socialwebcafe A6.1) Have a "don't do" list to help you remove your time-wasters. #SocialCafe
— Tom Reid(@_TomGReid)

Great idea @_TomGReid and I feel like that one can be forgotten sometimes and yet so important. Thanks for the tip! #SocialCafe twitter.com/_TomGReid/stat…
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

Q7 How about any questions? (Or do we already know it all? lol) #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

Kat - and that has never caused any trouble with the finish or anything? But, then again, I use rubbing alcohol quite a bit and have never had trouble with using it... #SocialCafe twitter.com/Kathrynclang/s…
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

Q7 (rephrase) How about questions? #SocialCafe
— #SocialCafe Team(@socialcafechat)

A7 Yeah - any questions? #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

I've got none. Once I understood the context it all made sense. #SocialCafe
— Tom Reid(@_TomGReid)

Sounds like a great plan ! @Kathrynclang #SocialCafe twitter.com/Kathrynclang/s…
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

OK - here's one: When will you complete your doctorate? #SocialCafe
— Tom Reid(@_TomGReid)

Q8 Ok, now it is time to brag about what you do well! Your #ShamelessPlug is .. #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)

@_TomGReid Scary but true - forgot I had these cool Whiteboard markets ... magnetized etc. etc. and they "popped up" last night ;). #HappyCamper #SocialCafe #FunWithMarkers
