Building Habits With Low-Effort Oncers

Developing a new habit - or fixing an old one - can be a struggle for me. Especially if I set the bar too high. This is how I came up with the idea of low-effort oncers: goals I can achieve at least once in a set time, without much effort. The trick is setting the bar so low it feels the completion is almost inevitable.

Here’re some of my monthly oncers for 2026:

• Publish one blog post
• Read one book
• Go for one long run
• Make one call to a distant friend
• Cook one new dish
• Create one non-commercial artwork
• Do one thing differently
• Observe one Digital Shabbath
• Review this list once on the 15th

Each one feels totally doable, almost effortless, and just a bit exciting.

So far, one point is already checked off for January.
